AS far as bibliotherapy...I'd recommend two good books...

"The Emotionally Abusive Relationship: How to stop being abused and how to stop abusing" by Beverly Engel

"Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming your Life" by Susan Forward

Benerly Engle has other books that I'd imagine are just as good and are similar to this one.. Even if you don't think it applies to your current relationship, it talks a lot about how past relationships, even father/daughter etc affect current, and I found it very helpful..

The toxic parents book is good too, has a chapter or two on alcoholics.. there are two versions, I read the older one because it is what my library had... Check your local library, see if they have them.

Call me if you need to love. If you need my number again email me on myspace. M-F I'm usually off work at 5pm here, so after 7pm your time.
