It Will Never Happen to Me: Children of Alcoholics as Youngsters, Adolescents, Adults
Author: Claudia Black, PhD
Overview
For more than two million readers, Claudia Black’s classic It Will Never Happen to Me has shed light on the lifelong impact of growing up in an addictive household. In these families, children quickly learn unspoken rules: don’t talk, don’t trust, don’t feel. To survive, they take on rigid roles—the responsible child, the adjuster, the placater, or the acting-out child—that may protect them in youth but lead to depression, loneliness, or addiction in adulthood.
Drawing on poignant personal stories, clear explanations, and practical exercises, Black helps readers break free from unhealthy patterns and reclaim healthier ways of living. This revised edition expands the focus beyond alcoholism to include addictions related to drugs, food, money, sex, and work—offering insights and healing tools for a wide range of family experiences.
Features
- Groundbreaking Framework: Explores the survival roles children adopt in addicted families.
- Updated Scope: Expands beyond alcoholism to address multiple forms of addiction.
- Practical Tools: Includes reflective exercises to build awareness and healthier coping strategies.
- Personal Stories: Real-life examples that validate experiences and inspire healing.
Who It’s For
- Adult children of alcoholics or those raised in addictive households.
- Therapists, counselors, and recovery professionals supporting clients from these backgrounds.
- Individuals struggling with depression, loneliness, or addiction linked to family history.
- Anyone seeking insight into the intergenerational impact of addiction.
