Part 1 got cut off so this is the rest of Mark E. Smith's ACOA discussion released 3 years ago. 

Mark E. Smith, LCSW tackles ACOA issues for the first time.  He wrote "I did not grow up in an alcoholic home.  While alcohol was not involved there was plenty of chaos, instability, rage, control, poverty, name-calling, abandonment, irrationality, secrets, addictions, shame and all around craziness.  So in a sense, I'm an ACOA without the alcohol.  My status in this area is partially why I have not blogged or recorded a video about ACOA issues to this point.  Then I was very pleased when I came across a statement by Dr. Janet G. Woititz, the author of the book that started the 'movement' called 'Adult Children of Alcoholics' that indicated that the traits of ACOA are shared with many other types of dysfunctional families."
