The question I have been afraid to ask myself and otherz...
Well...
When I decide to finally tell my Mom I am movin out and that I no longer want to be a contibuter to her alcoholic wayz...when do I return home? Do I return for holidayz? What if they all get ticked off and decide to make me the black sheep of the family? Do I ever go back?
I dunno what to think of it. Perhapz for the initial yearz I should stay away. But then as time goes on, maybe I will return for holidayz only....
ugh...who knowz...I should probably just cross that bridge when I get there.

I can relate to being the black sheep. I am responsible for my family's unhappiness. Because I don't participate in the madness, I am "tearing the family apart". Sure I am! I visit when I want to visit. That is not much anymore. They only seem to get upset with me when I'm around, because I don't act the way they want. I used to be scared that I would be alone and lonely and insecure without my family's approval. I know now that they are there for me and I for them if we truly are in need. But they aren't capable of meeting my need for nurturing, security, or approval. I have to get those met in other people. Mostly people in my alanon meetings. Have you ever seen a whole herd of black sheep? That's us! Hugs, Magic
