It certainly doesn't have to be an alcoholic family for all those things to be prevalent. It is only because of AA, Alanon, and ACOA, and addiction that it gets all the attention. When I started working on these issues in Alanon I found out I had much more surpressed anger at my mother than I did at my alcoholic father. I was shocked at that. All the focus had always been on my father.
The methods of recovery can be the same. The most popular books at that time on co dependance were by Melody Beatty.
