I was just thinking about you today..... odd how things happen. Glad you are doing okay. You have been handed so much to deal with! (and seem to be handling it better than most adults).
Aneurisms are scarey..... no warning. Your dad is very lucky, as you already know, and also lucky to have you.
I am pleased to hear about you mom being sober....although no matter how sober, she just can't seem to keep her sharp tongue quiet. I had a mother very much like that. I was too heavy (at 125 lbs!), she actually nick-named me Thunderthighs.....how sweet....nothing was good enough for her....and sadly, I ended up leaving when I was 15. There was no internet back then, 27 years ago, no meetings, no therapy, no group stuff.....so everyone thought I was the bad child from hell... they just didn't know how much I put up with.....maybe that's why I am always wondering how you are doing, because I can really relate.
Thanks for the update. We should have a dysfunctional family forum too
