I'm sorry Tx, you've certainly got a lot of other people's issues going on all around you. It must be difficult to stay focused on your serenity/recovery. It's that whole powerless thing...we can't control what our loved ones do. I still struggle with that because from the outside it all appears so obvious. Stay true to yourself, your boundaries, your recovery....I'm so glad we have this spot to talk openly about things as we are faced with them. My new favorite quote: "Accept what is, let go of what was, have faith it what will be". I'm trying!!! Hang in there!
