Adult Children of Alcoholics

Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACoAs) refers to individuals who grew up in households where one or both parents struggled with alcohol dependency. This environment can lead to long-lasting emotional and psychological effects, including issues with trust, self-esteem, and relationship dynamics. ACoAs often develop coping mechanisms to manage chaos and may find themselves repeating unhealthy patterns in their adult lives. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for personal growth and healing, often leading individuals to seek therapy or support groups to address their unique challenges and foster healthier relationships.
