thank you snowydelrico...
I agree. It's particularly challenging because my Mom is involved.... never had a strained relationship with her.
But - in the end you're correct... families have rows and that's part of life.
I know it'll all blow past like the weather eventually.... along the way I just have to let go.
Grateful that I'm dealing with it in sobriety because the alcoholic me would probably have been irresistibly drawn to try and "make up for" the situation.... seeking to maintain "harmony" in the family and getting drawn into the drama of it all.
As challenging as it feels to be sort of sidelined by my own family - it's preferable to being all spun up in addictive chaos.
