To a child, whether your parent is gone because they are drunk or gone because they are at meetings...they are still gone. It feels the same to a little one.
Follow that through and everyone should work from home, never go to the gym, church, chamber of commerce meetings or the PTA....
I think it's wonderful there are so many approaches to recovery.
I'm not wedded to any idealogy or school of thought - I';m glad that places like SR exist so I was able to get a full idea of what my options were.
I love when someone from one branch of recovery posts, simply shares their recovery... and doesn't take pot shots at the 'other side'
