Putting children down, demeaning them, lying to them, not consistently being there when they need you- all of those things are very harmful to a child's development.
What happens to a family when one member struggles with alcoholism? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Sis Wenger, the President & CEO of the National Association for Children of Alcoholics (NACoA), to explore this very question. Sis brings her own experiences of growing up in an alcoholic family, offering a deeply personal perspective on how alcoholism affects not just the individual but everyone around them.
She discusses the emotional and psychological toll it takes on children, who often face issues like trust problems and difficulties in forming healthy relationships later in life. The conversation also touches on the importance of early intervention and the development of strong support systems to help break the cycle of dysfunction.
If you or someone you know is affected by alcoholism, or if you're interested in understanding more about NACoA's resources, this episode offers valuable insights into building a healthier, more supportive environment for recovery.
