Here’s a brief look at Chapter II
Start With Family
We all learn from our families we grew up in how to be, think, do, feel, behave, give, and have in this world. Families give us our behavior patterns, our thinking patterns, our doing patterns, our feeling patterns, our attitude patterns, our giving patterns, and our having patterns. Some families do this in a functional or healthy way and other families do this in dysfunctional or unhealthy ways. Most families fall somewhere in between.
Are You An Adult Child From A Dysfunctional Family (ACDF)?
I want to help you understand the specific ACDF patterns. You can begin to identify these patterns in current contacts and determine changes of your choice toward healthier functioning.
Who Are Adult Children And How Are They A Part Of The Dysfunctional Family Cycle?
Adult children engage in a series of behavior patterns that become rigid and inflexible to allow a sense of being in control of their life. In actuality, their life is totally out-of-control.
Do these shoes fit you? Then, you are reading the right book. When I first learned about adult children, I was surprised to find myself in this group. My parents lead me to believe our family was normal, healthy, and the model to follow to raise my children. Of course, the denial about sexual abuse/incest was never discussed. How dysfunctional is that?
The Dysfunctional Family Cycle
The dysfunctional family cycle is the multigenerational multiplication of unhealthy behavior patterns. This means for every generation which is dysfunctional, more dysfunction is passed on to the next generation. These adults re-enact the dysfunctional family patterns in their daily lives.
Mood -Altering--What Was Your Choice?
Adult children fail to focus on their own emotional needs. They focus on something or someone outside of themselves. This allows them to mood-alter and avoid handling their own life and personal growth.
With Mood-altering behaviors, adult children allow their life to be controlled by work, home, family, church, school, recreation and anything or anyone that will keep them from considering their own emotional, physical, and spiritual needs. When their primary focus in life is on existing and trying to fit in with the rest of the world, they lose contact with the person they are and the harmony that comes from being in touch with their own reality. They are focused totally on reality outside themselves.
