Qualities of Adult Children of Dysfunction (A.C.O.D.)
Test Yourself:
Are you an Adult Child of Dysfunction? (A.C.O.D.)
1. Have you been challenged with your own compulsive, perfectionistic or addictive behavior?
2. Do you have a problem with making plans or decisions and/or following through on them?
3. Do you seek approval & affirmation from others, but it never seems to be enough?
Do you fear criticism & fail to recognise your achievements ?
4. Are you uncomfortable when life is going well, looking for the next crash or struggle? Do you feel more alive in the midst of crisis?
5. Do you overextend yourself, feeling responsible for others, caring for them easily while ignoring many of your own needs?
Are you super-responible or irresponsible, super- controlled or over- impulsive, OR switch between extremes?
6. Do have trouble communicating and often chose to isolate yourself from others?
7. Do you cling to relationships for fear of being alone?
8. Do you have trouble with intimacy, possibly attracting or seeking people who tend to be abusive or compulsive?
Have you confused pity with love?
9. Do you find it hard to identify and express your emotions? Do you find yourself mistrusting your own feelings & those expressed by others?
10. Do you have ongoing issues or fears of authority and/or angry people? (May include religion, the "god idea", etc).
11. Do you guess at what "normal" is & sometimes feel like a kid in a world of grown -ups?
12. Do you often feel that individuals and society in general are taking advantage of you?
------------------------------------
If you have answered yes to 3 or more of these questions, then you may be one of the millions of adults who have grown up in a dysfunctional family, whose adults may or may not have engaged in overtly addictive or compulsive behavior.
If you were part of a chilldhood home of dysfunction, then you were affected: understanding can give you a new handle and a new freedom from the behaviors that once entrapped you.
If this list describes you or someone you love, you can now equip yourself for a voyage & adventure of self- discovery that will take you into your own "truthful heart" and a healing that makes a difference in all areas of life.
"If I am not I, Who will be? "
---"Henry David Thoureau
"I tried to run... Oh, how I tried! When finally had to stop-- stop telling myself all I needed to tell myself, to go on living this framented life... Soon, a great gulf opened and all went dark... but in that place there was a narrow strip of land, and on that land I made my home...
....And as time went on, it grew, and flourished, and swallowed up all that had been before...
I was made Whole..."
