My sponsor always asks me before sharing with her sponsor about me...or at least that is the goal..being human I expect it isn't always true.

I guess I expect that if she is struggling in her relationship to me she will seek her sponsors guidance.

That said....I chose my sponsor for a reason and did NOT choose her sponsor for a reason....I would never have had her sponsor as my sponsor and she knows that.

I have chosen not to participate in the linage of sponsorship deal in my sobriety today and am comfortable with that. I don't have put a lot of stock in my "stuff" not being known by others as I have a relationship with the people who share their ESH with me and they may have issues that our relationship brings to their lives that they then must seek ESH from others on. I feel that for the most part this has always been handled well and with respect by others.
