“Something happened to us a long time ago. It happened more than once. It hurt us. We protected ourselves the only way we knew how. We are still protecting ourselves. It isn’t working anymore.” ― John C. Friel, Adult Children Secrets of Dysfunctional Families: The Secrets of Dysfunctional Families
“recovery is a process rather than an event.”
― John C. Friel, Adult Children Secrets of Dysfunctional Families

Millions of us struggle with these kinds of dysfunctions every day, and falsely believe we are alone.
