How did/can you know/do all this. Remarkable to Bravo… You are so strong. I’m 44 and always known I was abused sexually/mentally/phy, you name it. It’s hard, I’ve always been fine, and now at 44 I am not…. your brillant. thank you!
Awesome video. The only part I had trouble with was the audio….a bit difficult to hear. Thank you for your work…it all sounds so familiar.
Thank you so for the video. I feel that I am not alone. I just begin to find help, which I have never even thought it exists. I am turning 32.
Roy,
Thank you so much for you very useful and informative video. I am a new comer to this information and the Al-anon program.. The problem I was at the time in the USA; where all the ACA characteristics were the same as ADA and BI Polar which meant of course, pills, pills and more pills.
I am just starting my ACA recovery and I am both excited and extremely frighten. Thanks for you help.

How can you not like this video, it was very well done. I’ve seen it first hand, and also i wish that i could make a relationship last, or have fun….I think the key is to give yourself time, and heal….be alone for awhile surrounded by good people….and soon enough maybe we all can live a active enjoyable lifestyle.. Thank you..

Thank you.
Hi Roy….Thank You for sharing.
((((Many Blessings))))
Hello Roy. It took a lot of courage to speak up about aca. I am also an aca and was deeply affected by alcholism, abuse, and religious fanaticism. My step-father was the alcoholic abuser and my mother the classic enabler. After I found al-anon
I’divorced’ my family as well as my husband and moved with my children to another region of the country in order to break the cycle. They are so much better off because of this. I don’t hate my family anymore. I pray that they’ll seek help.
Thank You so much for posting this video!
Peace

Thanks monkeyeagle Dante…
Dude… you must do what works for you. I find that hammering myself into ‘must do’ is pretty much the best way to do nothing.
For me, simple awareness is the best tool I use. I like to be aware of what I’m feeling about something.
As Hal and Sidra Stone say, ‘It doesn’t matter WHAT you’re saying, it matters WHO is saying it.’ (Is it your damaged inner child? Your vengeful inner parent?)

Excellent Video Mate! Thank you Roy for having the Courage to share your painful story with us! I too grew up in a household of Hell! My Mother seemed to Love to provoke My Father till He beat Her and the police had to come! Then She could be the perfect victim!Of course My Father was a Victim too according to Him…She Made Him beat Her,supposedly!!!! Nice to know you are working hard to heal yourself,I must do the same! My brother chose to self destruct with drugs and drink! Cheers Best Wishes

Hi Roy,
Your video was profound!!! I never thought Youtube could provide such great healing.
My father was an alcoholic. He was not abusive- he was a lovely man. What made me sad is to watch him self destruct. He was a man of great talent like your father but it was almost as if he did not feel worthy of his success. You went through great pain but you are stronger now CLEARLY. Keep working on it. As they say keep coming back because it works if you work it!!! PEACE, LOVE and JOY to you!!
Yup, ximplicity. It’s all about starting with oneself. From inside to outside.
Blue skies
love
Roy
