So quiet here...
But I know even if we are not discussing things, that many people are still reading the information. This forum is providing a valuable service for those in the throes of the aftermath of alcoholism.
Now an extended family member's descent into alcoholism is, of course, affecting everyone around. They are experiencing the pain that maturing in this situation brings as they sort out how to live their life. Trying to be successful, cutting ties, feeling guilty, trying again. You know the drill. It's so hard to watch the parade go by again. I'm outside of it enough but it's still tragic. No idea how this is all going to turn out. But maybe I can be helpful if they need it.
