Life is pretty good at the moment. I do have to give myself a mental slap every so often, usually when I start to feel guilty about how good it is! I remind myself I worked hard to get here, and it's not because of anyone else or any events, it's because I looked at myself and realised where I was lacking then did something about it.
I wouldn't have done anything about myself I don't think if I hadn't found SR, I'd still be whirling around thinking it was al my fault or that I could 'help' my brother and my family cure themselves. One thing I have fond is that my attitude these days has a kind of knock on effect, I can see the children changing and thinking about things more, they're calmer these days and so much more mature (in a healthy way, not a grown up too soon way) My mum too has a slightly different more positive outlook.
So thanks friends, you've helped most of my family by supporting me through the tough times.
