In our lives, we would love very much to be able to go to our family of origin for the help we need ~ but in reality sometimes that family is not equiped to help us.

We don't go to the hardware store for a loaf of bread - right? We have heard that said many times in recovery ~ we have to learned to quit going to the hardward store but have we learned to go to the Grocery store FOR bread?

It is apparent that your FOO is not equiped to give you the support you need, it doesn't make them bad or evil ~ it just is what it is ~ they can't give you something they don't have ~

Please don't let that stop you from seeking what you do need - love, support, acceptance, guidance and friendship from a family of choice ~

You may find that family of choice at an Al-Anon meeting, here at SR, thru personal therapy or however you seek to find your support network.

But don't give up seeking for the support you need - you deserve it!

pink hugs!
