((Kell))
From being in Al-Anon for some time, I can tell you that it is part of recovery. We are beginning to face the things that we avoided for so long. It is painful. It takes time to start healing. I had a choice when I started, to either go through this, tears and all, or bottle it all up again. I will tell you that it gets better. We do start to heal. The more we practice the things we are learning, the better we get. Give yourself permission to cry. There is nothing wrong with it, and it won't last forever. Hugs, Magic
