Hi digd,
If you were my pigeon, and I couldn't trust my sponsor to keep a confidence about you, what gives you the idea I could trust him to keep a confidence about me?

I'm a recovered drunk, for some time now but that doesn't mean I have all the answers. Furthermore, I've pretty much kept my business of sponsoring people on the level of recovering from alcoholism. That's the only thing I know anything about. I'm not a family counselor, nor do I have a degree in child rearing. I reaised my kids out of the same handbook you use, which is entitled, "Flying by the seat of my pants." I have discussed kid problems with pigeons but my final suggestion is to get professional help.
