-This is an interview with Dr. Phil whose father was an alcoholic. It talks about how growing up with no money effected him and how his fathers alcoholism effected him also.

-The article is from Readers Digest April 2005 and was wrote by Laura Yorke.

- This article would be useful to the reader before reading this book because it basically has the same effect on both of them. The things that Dr. Phil had to go through were the same things that RIck Bragg went through with his father. And half of the time Rick's father wasnt even there for his three kids and his wife. In this article they talk about how dr. phil had to do the paper route and if he didnt get the money they wouldnt eat. RIck was the same way they didnt have much either. They we both very poor growing up.

-Some ides i would like them to think about how growing up without a father would be like. When he was there he was always drunk. And also how growing up with very little of anything would be like.

This video here talks about the family and what they can do to help the member of the family that is an alcholic.

this video is from the national institute on chemical dependency.

this would be useful to the readers ecause it talks about alcholism. And what it is. it talks about how it effects family members and what family members can do to help. You dont want to help so much but try and help a little bit. In the book ricks father is never there and he is a big part of the family. THis video kinda goes with it and shows what the family schould do.

They should thinkk about what they would do if there father was an alcoholic and they bearly got to eat because when the father was there he was always spending the money on beer and whisky.
