Hi, This is my first visit and I don't know what I'm doing : )
Well I've tried to enter a chat room and that didn't work, but it's okay because I'm not sure that's where I wanted to be anyway. I have a friend who is doing so poorly: alcohol, anti-depressants, ant-anxiety drugs. She just had a bad episode. I know a bit about alcoholism, my mom died at 62 from cihrosis, I don't think I am an enabler, but I do have a heart for her, and it seems like her family is very withdrawn and disgusted with her. I see where I think they are wrong, but I know that she is manipulative, it just seems like they have thrown her to government programs and left her to flounder. I need some unbiased viewpoints. Thanks.

Yes it's easier to just hit reply......and I don't think it let's you edit anything after a certain amount of time.
Spend some time reading everything here, then you will probably come up with the same opinion that her family has. She owns her problem, not them, not you. She has probably exhausted her family of money, effort, and everything else imaginable.....as she will do to you if you let her. You already know she can be manipulative......that's a start.

Hi maryrichards,
Nice to meet you!
After you post there is about a 15 minute timeframe to edit it.
To reply you can scroll down to the blue line that says "Quick Reply" where a blank window is available, or just click on the blue oval on the left side just under the last post that says: "Post Reply" and a window will appear for you to use.
Since you are new here it might help you to 'read around' the site, check out all the stickys at the tops of the forum pages and read as many posts as you can. You will learn so much just by doing that. Feel free to start a new thread to share and/or ask questions whenever you need to.
