Show Notes
In this episode of the Catholic in Recovery podcast, Scott Weeman and Father Sean Kilcawley return from a hiatus to discuss their recent activities, including Father Sean's travels and Scott's work with Catholic in Recovery amidst a challenging ice storm. The primary topic is Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA) or Adult Children of Dysfunctional Family Systems, which they explore by discussing its history, the broadening scope of trauma, and how the resulting traits can be an "unrefined superpower." They examine the 14 "laundry list" traits of adult children and conclude with encouragement to seek help and community through resources like ACA/ACOA groups and Catholic in Recovery meetings.
