Guest: Dr. Curt Grayson

Part 1
Research has shown that one in five adults in the U.S. has lived with an alcoholic parent or relative while growing up. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson interviews a panel of guests to discuss the traumatic and far-reaching effects that alcoholism inflicted on them as children. Discover the hope that can be found in Christ and the safety of support groups as the guests share the pain of their past.

Part 2
There are many ways a child can deal with the trauma of living with an alcoholic parent. Some of these kids, when they become adults, realize that when emotional scars are not addressed, the lingering pain can tear down their own family unit. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his discussion with a panel of qualified guests. Be encouraged as you listen to how God helped each of them work through the memories of a mom or dad in the throes of addiction.

Part 3
Anxiety. Fear. Isolation. Anger. If we’re honest, every one of us has experienced these feelings in some way, and these emotions are magnified many times over for the children of alcoholics. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his three-part series on the issues associated with a person who suffers from the trauma of growing up with an alcoholic parent. As Dr. Dobson explains, it is in the acknowledgment of emotional pain that one can truly begin to heal. Find hope as we hear examples of the healing power of Christ Jesus.
