update (sister still in treatment)
Hi everyone,
My sister has written from her treatment center and is really liking her counselor and groups. She's been there 2 weeks tomorrow and we get to visit her on Saturday. Saturday will be my niece's 4th birthday, so I'm happy she'll get to see her mom. My niece's behavior has been aggressive and a little defiant. I'm hoping this is just because of the situation, but we'll see. My parents are doing the best they can, but everything is definitely putting a strain on their relationship. I listen to my mom and try to be there for her, but she's really having a hard time. I was hoping things would improve with my sister getting help. My parents issues are probably deeper than I care to know. I can't do anything about that either.
As for myself, I'm still going to my meetings and doing the best I can at work with middle schoolers and spring fever!
Emotionally, I'm all over the place and it varies from day to day.
I'm trying to accept I'm not quite where I'd like to be with respect to many parts of my life, but I'm where I'm supposed to be for now.
