Hello Lost,
Welcome to the forum. I've learned a lot since I came to the boards. My son is the alcoholic in my life. I've learned to treat him with respect from reading the posts here and sharing with the wonderful people on these boards.
I've learned to like myself better no matter what I feel others think about me. I've learned to focus on myself and my own recovery.
We don't take sides here unless someone is in danger from abuse. This is a safe place for us to share our fears, our pain and our success.
I care about others sons and husbands and wives here as if they were my own family.
Please feel free to share. We learn to take responsibility for our own feelings and not blame others for our problems. We learn to let our loved ones live their own lives and give up the control we have over them. We learn to find our own happiness and not depend on someone else for it.
Please feel free to share.
Hugs,
MG
