YES!

I remember going to a STEP AL ANON meeting and had one lady in there, she says " i need help today. My adult daughter wants me to buy her a car. So i came here to ask, should i?"

i remember my mom looking at me with those strong eyes and saying with them.. dont you ever think for one moment child that i will buy YOU a car"....i knew those eyes...

see? thats what a good AL ANON group has done for us...i looked at my mom and smiled...and said with my eyes "please i would NEVER ASK!"

someone said to that lady, please keep coming back, you will find your answer to that question...
