Julianna, Can I suggest you get ahold of " Living Sober"? They have a chapter there about anger and resentments. Myself, I feel into every single trap then mention. Basicly, we can be rifght but, to act sometimes, Like Ann mentioned, takes a bigger toll on ourselves. Sort of like crossing the street when you have a walk sign. You can say to the oncomming speading car, "Hey I have the right of way." To stand your ground would make you right----but dead right. Like this girl, the driver could end up arrested and in jail but, who the the worst of it? Anger consumes me at times and by the sound you also. As far as your ex-father in law? Remember, there is more to recovery than not drinking. This girl is still sick and needing attention, to keep focus off herself. You and your friends are providing this. Remember, some feel bad attention is better that no attention. Like some suggested, say a prayer and move your focus back to your recovery and enjoying it. Don W
