I am glad that I found this forum!!!
I am a 35 year old female and a ACOA. I have been in counseling for YEARS, thought I had come to grips with this ACOA thing (in fact my father has been sober for years now) but now that I am dating a recovering alcoholic, old wounds have suddenly burst open.
I am at a stage in which I am mad at the disease, mad at alcohol and I am mad that this disease has infiltrated and hurt so many families. I am mad that my boyfriend is struggling (he sooo wants to stay sober) and I am just mad.
I started going to Al Anon/ ACOA meetings again.
Has anyone else gone through this stage? And if so, any suggestions????
