Yep, cause even if they just agreed and listened, that is better than nothing.

But, if they lift a finger, or lift the whole recovery center, it does not work until the alcoholic works it.

luvcaitlin,

Look for your own support. I hope I misunderstood and that you are not sharing your adult problems with your 10 year old daughter? Please reconsider telling her anything except age appropriate truth.
If she seems more mature than ten, well, I was too.
I was the oldest of four and my mother told me alot of things I did not want or need to know.
Of course you love your daughter very much, just as I know my mother loved me, but she should have sought the advice and counsel of other adults. Not me. I was not ready and I feel I failed her in every way.

She (your daughter) could use some professional help. (if possible)
How about AlAnon and AlAteen?

I was about ten when my mother and father separated.
I did not need to know the details of my fathers shortcomings.

I failed my children in some ways, but in many ways I have grown and hopefully this generation will be much better than the one before.
We do what we know. And, when we know better we do better.

Sincerely,
Beth
