I forgot the title.
Both my parents had alcoholic fathers, though my parents were not alcoholics themselves, they still carried some of the dysfunction (for example distant father, depressed mother that acted like she was her children’s daughter)… and I’m trying to find that book that talks about breaking that alcoholism behavior cycle…

Ummm I don’t know about a book but I come from long history of alcoholics and what broke the cycle was AA.
Alcoholics Anonymous has lots of books to help with the disease symptoms of over-drinking.
Al-Anon (the 12 step program for the relatives of alcoholics) also has many books that discuss the problems that are to be found in dysfunctional families where drinking has been – even if Grandma or grandpa were the drinkers. The disease of alcoholism is way farther reaching than just the drinker.
Try:
the AA Big Book
Twelve and Twelve
“In All of Our Affairs
All these books are published by the 12 step programs. Ebay has them too.
it looks like Leanne gave you the answer…I would also suggest you see if you can find any good Alanon meetings cause this has helped people who live with the behavior. It is amazing how many people are in the same situation. There are all kinds of meeting now including phone meetings which I did for DA & they were great.
good luck…………….
