P.S. I understand your expectations and feelings about your family and wanting their support. But please consider that they may be limited in this respect, which is nothing to do with you. In AlAnon we learn about our families of origin and learn to see and accept those limitations. I have learned that my first step toward Recovery was a step OUT of my family of origin, into a wider community of caring people who could provide me with a level of support and resources my family of origin was incapable of providing. It was a very big, scary step, but was the BEST thing I could have ever done for myself. (((hugs)))
