Through sharing their thoughts and feelings, children can develop a better understanding of addiction and how it affects their parent(s).Written from a child's point of view, My Dad Loves Me, My Dad Has a Disease has helped thousands of children and is a springboard for children to understand their own recovery process in a family ravaged by addiction.
