I do feel ashamed that I am not doing what everyone says to do. to put him out.
you have nothing to be ashamed about.
Beth, I am from an alcoholic family, dad and mom both alcoholics. i went to aca group years ago, and found out that I was not weird, but that I became how I am in response to the alcoholics in my life. I would like to get some help. i need it. I think sometimes that I am going crazy, from the anger and sadness, and the fact that I have no choice- none but to put out a family member who has nothing.
You
still have an alcoholic in your life.
It is possible for you to find out who you are...when not reacting to an alcoholic.
Please consider getting back to ACA.
Beth
