Oh, SOMEONE benefits alright, when we keep "the family secret". The alcoholic benefits, that's who.

SteppingUP, you can't fix all this today, it didn't get like this in a day. Don't let yourself be pressured, we all act on our own time frame.

Every time I tried to do something before I was ready, it blew up in my face.

Thanks and God bless us all,
