Hi IHA, I'm sorry you had a bad week. I've had quite a few of my own, and trust me, things can get better.
I think, if you set your mind to attending regularly for a while, you'll find that you can relate better than you think. Everyone there is fighting the same war as you, just on different battlefields.
Alanon suggests that one attends at least 6 meetings before they decide it's not for them. Personally, I've heard words of wisdom, and received a tremendous amount of support from people I never would have thought I'd ever relate to.
Depending on where you live, you may have other Alanon groups that are a better fit. That can be an option also. Just don't give up too quickly. You deserve to be surrounded with people who understand what you're living through, and how hard it is.
