When I was in rehab I didn't want my family to come to family day. I felt it was my 7 day vacation from them and detoxing and I didn't need them cause they're the ones that stressed me, which made me feel to drink even more.
However, after rehab, I have been learning how to set "boundaries" of what I allow to distract me in my life, and that included my kids.
Now I'm in charge of how they affect me, not them.
