Wascally Wabbit

...has finally arrived.
What's so sad is how I hate to see her go. I think the sadness comes from wishing things could be different, smoothe, and loving instead of the way it really is. Wishing and imagining a different kind of relationship that will never come.

As a second thought, I believe all AA should amend a 13th step. It would come inbetween the first and second steps.
It should say,
"We came to an understanding, through reading the Soberrecovery message, boards that our behavior destroyed our family, made them hate us, and made us unwelcome in every family member's home."

woooo hooooo Wabbit I'm glad you're finally free!!!!!

with _whom_, wabbit? With _whom_ would you like a smooth, loving relationship? With an angry, hurtful person, or with a kind, loving person. There's nothing wrong with wishing for a good relationship, what is wrong is _whom_ we wish it with

I have a _wonderful_ Mom. She's giving, loving, kind and compassionate. Ok, she's also stubborn and bossy, but I love her anyway, and she loves me. She's not my biological Mom. She's my ex-wife's step-Mom, and we adopted each other. I _made_ my own happy relationship with a Mom, but I chose one who is not genetically related to me. Works much better for me that way

* lmfao * I _like_ that !!!!!

Have a big ol (((( hug ))))), and tell us what you are doing for yourself _today_ to make this holiday special for you.

Me? I got me a new nose, it's my Santa gift to myself

Good for you Wabbit! You made it!

I, too, mourn the relationship with my mom that will never be.

But you did good and you vented here instead of on her!

Glad you made it and keep us posted.

((((wabbit)))))

Whoooop! I can completely related to that feeling like a boulder has been lifted and I can stand tall again. Well, not so much this year, but in previous years, I strongly recall that feeling.

I always feel like I mourn the *potential*, but not the relationship. I wish that what *could* have been, would have, and I grieve that it wasn't/isn't that way, and likely never will be.

One day at a time! You made it!

Wascally Wabbit

Thank you so much everyone. If you weren't here, I just might have blurted out an ugly thing this week.
So true Ginger. I mourn the potential.
