1 thing? 10 things? Any thing specific?
What did your sponsor advise?

I have never formally sat down and made amends to my parents, both Mum or Dad. My sponsor told me they were more than likely sick of my apologies and the best thing I could do was get my daughter back to live with me and start treating them beter. I.e. giving instead of receiving.

I did pay them the money I owed them though, after a few years of soberity. It was quite a bit.

My mother though has made amends to me, a couple of time, since she was/has been in Al Anon for a few years and was working the program etc...
