family involvement often diminishes the effectiveness of treatment. Unresolved attachment disorders perpetuate alcoholism and addiction and vice versa.

every time I try and grow a plant it dies, and finish off with - but I'm very good at washing my car and making it shine like new. read stories of resilience i.e. Jack and the beanstalk. Adults can help in the manner we deal and speak with them.

insecure-resistant/ambivalent as well. It all depends on her mood or how she is feeling that day. Times when she is happy she is the secure attachment. It all depends on her mood, where she is, and whose she 's with. Most of the time she is the secure attachment.
