Thank you for all the posts. I too needed them. AH gets out of rehab in a few days. I have made it very clear to him that he can't come back. His parents are going to let him stay with them for a while--thank goodness. I am determined to stay strong but I know that I will have many bridges to cross. I am completely worn out by all of the madness. It is amazing how fast time passes. I can't believe that I have been dealing with this for years. I have done everything I know to do only to realize that I can not do it for him. I am done! May need advice in the coming days. Thank you

I have shared this with a moms online group (support forum for a's and their loved ones) and now I know where it comes from so I can give credit.

It is one of my favorites and I read it when I'm struggling with my addiction and when I'm struggling with my feelings towards my father alcoholism.

Thank you so much.

I hadn't seen this one before today....I'm so glad that I read it....it helped me to understand that I'm not the only one who has these thoughts, that it's okay to have these thoughts, and it's okay to let go when I'm ready....

Thanks a million!
