My dad returned from his trip and found support while he was with his friend.
His friend had a similar situation with his own kids.

Anyway, my dad and I had a very good conversation. He expressed a few boundaries he's going to set and he said he's not going to be guilt tripped by my sister because she has a child.

I have to turn it over and keep working on my own stuff. Tonight, at my meeting, a woman shared the importance of not letting someone take away your recovery and joy, even if it's a family member.

This is much harder than when I was with my exabf. He was actually supportive and told me I couldn't do anything about her. Little did I know at the time, I was trying to do something about both of them.

I was so looking forward to tonight's meeting, but didn't walk away feeling the empowerment as I did last week. Maybe that's why I need to keep going back to hear from different people and connect with someone.

Well, I put it to rest and feel a little better this morning.
Just needed a little distance from it. Sleep does wonders.
