I called a friend in Alanon today and explained the situation. She said it would be fine to bring my daughter, only they were not having an Alateen meet tonight because the leader was out for some reason.
I do plan on taking her in the next few weeks. There's one meeting a week here, but I'll be out of town next week.
Ali--I went to my first AA meeting when I was 14 years old. Didn't understand a thing. So, it's not surprising to me that you were bewildered.
