It happened agian
 

Today my mother confirmed that she relapsed again. I have such a strange and string reaction to this. I get angry and scared and cry so hard I can't stop. I just don't know what to do. I find myself falling right back into that place everytime this happends.

((((((((Confused))))))))
 

How old are you?Are you in Al-Anon. If not get there as fast as you can. It helps and keep coming here. If I can help. Let me know!!

I'm 30. I would think by now I'd able to cope. I'm a counselor for goodness sake. But I have been to a meeting once and plan to go this week. I'm feeling better today. Thanks for the support.

Hey, we get into these "helping" professions for a reason. Just go to meetings as often as you can. Even if you don't think they are making sense. I p romise it will make a difference! Love Ya, Cathy

Confused,

Consider yourself Hugged....counselor or not we all need the fellowship and support that SR and Al-Anon can give us. Those of here and at Al-Anon understand as few others can...I really thought before that I was way out in the outfield, all alone with alll the craziness that A's and us codie's can dream up...IT is a family disease....

Do hope you keep coming back so you can get to know us...

Love and prayers from one who cares

I find when these things happen my old brain kicks in and brings back the feelings and behaviours from the past if I haven't learnt new thoughts and behaviours for myself to handle these situations.

Thank you everyone for your support. It is helpful knowing that there are people out there that understand. I went to one meeting this week an plan to attend some more. I hope to use this site as another means of support. My biggest issue is dealing with the angry I feel. My wise mnd tells me what to do and I accept that its isn't my fault, etc. I know what I need to do. But there is fine line between setting boundaries and punishing.
