About the Book

Lost in the pull of alcoholism, Jane Bartels did the unthinkable. She left her five young children in order to drink. This is not only the story of one person's descent into hell, it is also the story of a vulnerable young family of five children trying to stay strong while their mother continually disappoints and betrays them. While Jane tells her story with searing, heart-breaking honesty, the children provide their own gut-wrenching, emotional response. Their shared story provides a penetrating and unique view of the toll which substance abuse inflicts on entire families.
About the Author: Jane Bartels is presently in private practice in Madison, Wisconsin as a psychotherapist, specializing in families affected by substance abuse. She runs groups for women, men, adolescents, and children ages 7 - 12, and she provides individual therapy for mental health issues. Bartels is a clinical member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT), has been a Certified Addictions Counselor since 1990, and is a CADC III in the State of Wisconsin. The heart of Ms. Bartels' Recovery Coaching Practice, called Recovery Through Balance, is an approach which stands on the cutting edge of therapy because it combines therapy and coaching to help clients immediately after their release from recovery programs as well as those who cannot afford to go to professional recovery programs. Ms. Bartels has personally undergone over thirty treatments and hospitalizations due to her alcohol addiction and is now in total recovery and has established her "street cred" with a succession of patients who were reluctant to work with therapists who have not "been there" as addicts themselves. She earned a BS in Psychology at the age of 50 from Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts where she was an Ada Comstock Scholar. She earned a M.Ed. in Clinical Psychology at Springfield College in Springfield. Having "crossed over" from addict to counselor, Ms. Bartels has been a successful practitioner in several of the programs in which she was formerly a patient. Among these are Hazelden, in Chicago, Illinois, and the Institute of Living in Hartford, Connecticut. She has also been a consultant to the State of Connecticut in its efforts to set up and run the Fresh Start program, a supervised halfway house alternative to prison for women with children.
