Description

According to the ministry of health 700,000 New Zealanders are heavy drinkers.What happens when these problem drinkers return from the club, the pub and the party to their homes? What goes on behind closed doors? What damage is being done to our children?

Developmental psychologists relate the crucial importance of love and attention in the formation of a childs ego, identity, confidence and self-esteem. What happens when a parent regards alcohol as more important? How do these kids cope with the deprivation of emotional, material and educational support from parents who dont have the money or the time to support them?

With a Father Like Mine is one sons story of growing up, in a family struggling with addiction. It deals with elements universal to all families caught up in the cycle of addiction: an abiding sense of inadequacy, the attraction of substance abuse, the repetition of role model behaviour. It tells of the price to be paid, the work to be done and the support needed from significant others for someone to break free from that insidious cycle of addiction. It is essentially a story of triumph despite adversity.

This is a story of a man who grew up in provincial New Zealand, in a poor home, with family addiction threatening to seal his fate.

This sweeping memoir is a story of tragedy and triumph, love and loss, struggle and success. With a Father Like Mine is a book that stirs the soul and provides inspiration and a ray of hope to all those suffering from family addiction.
