Ugh. What a road I have ahead of me! This weekend we all go to the beach to celebrate his parent's 50th wedding anniversary. His mother lived through his father's alcoholic problems and they are great today. Of course now look at the wreckage of their children. Every one of them has had problems or married someone with problems. My husband and his brother are the last ones still in trouble. At least I'll have lots of other folks to talk to for a week. My sister in law has been where I am and we can take long walks on the beach. I might even sneak away to attend a meeting or two with her and her husband. It will definitely be impossible to be sad with all those beautiful happy children running around.
