“Even if you are what your parents made you, if you stay that way, it’s your own darn fault. We’re not going to undo the past. Let’s focus on making the necessary changes to improve your functioning.”
Abraham J Twerski, Addictive Thinking: Understanding Self-Deception

“The drinking parent lied to the sober parent; the sober parent deceived the drinking parent. Most children of alcoholics have learned that no one can be trusted.”
Abraham J. Twerski, Addictive Thinking: Understanding Self-Deception

“But what is unjust? That depends on a person's thoughts, values, and beliefs. People differ sharply on what is just or unjust in this world. Thus, some people become angry much quicker than others.”
Abraham J. Twerski, Addictive Thinking: Understanding Self-Deception
