GL, as always your posts are just great. I feel the same way about a lot of my family. They won't view things the way we do because they are still in denial and we aren't.
I hafta say that I believe we are less alone when we get out of the chaotic lives of addicts and alcoholics. We can have something we never had with them: PEACE.
I am so grateful not to have to live in it any more. Even my sober mother is still crazy. I love her dearly, but I can't take being around her for very long.
Hugs to you GL.
