Does Al-Anon help members to accept the behavior or when to say enough is enough?
Accepting does NOT MEAN YOU SIT THERE AND TAKE THE CRAP. It is more like saying:
A cow says Moooo.
A dog says Bark, Bark.
A cat say Meow.
A Liar Lies.
See, it is about YOU Stopping the "YEAH, BUTs," and excuses WE MAKE for the A's Crap Behavior.
Once you are really clear that a Cow goes Mooo, (and a Liar Lies) THEN if you do not want that barnyard creature in your house and your life, you can begin steps to remove it/them.
