This thread has helped me tremendously. Thanks for putting me onto it, Searching & for your warm welcome. (I had posted a comment in another forum and "Searching" guided me here)
I had been struggling with the fact that the other people in my Al-anon group keep saying they're crazy, etc. I have a hard time with calling myself "crazy" because I was called crazy for years by my 1st husband and it took me a long time to convince myself that I wasn't.
But now I understand what they're saying...they're not actually saying they think they're crazy...they're saying their actions are crazy. Gosh.... Why is something so simple so hard for me to grasp! UGH Yes.....I can readily admit that....I have turned into a raving lunatic at times....I've been reacting to things in the wrong way...and that is my "craziness"
I just need to work on myself and if that means learning to not react in certain instances (for my OWN sanity) that's cool.
Thank you so much Searching...you have put a smile back on my face today!
