In this new edition of her best-selling Changing Course, Claudia Black extends a helping hand to individuals overcoming the complex trauma of being raised with addiction in the family. 

In an all too familiar scenario, played out in millions of homes every day, children who grow up in addictive families abide by certain rules: don't talk, don't trust, don't feel. The rigid survival roles and youthful coping behaviors they take on, such as the responsible child, the adjuster, the placater, and the acting-out child can eventually contribute to problems of depression, loneliness, and addiction in adulthood.
