> I'm sorry he backed out Kath, but it sounds like you've got a pretty good handle on it, even though you may not think so. What you said to him sounded perfect to me!
>>>>>>Thanks! That helps me to feel more positive. It's hard to be objective while being RIGHT in the middle of it. Fivefires wrote a post further up on the page. I found it pretty helpful. I've been trying to figure out what the heck my involvement WILL be!!! >>>>>>>
And co-dependency counseling of any kind would be great. I think its very smart to seek out help, because tough love just doesn't come naturally to some of us! And all that co-dependency stuff is too confusing to figure out on your own (IMHO).
>>>>>I really miss CoDependents Anonymous!! The group I went to for 4 years isn't here any more>>>
> Are you part of a support group? I would think talking to other families of addicts would be a great comfort, if only to know there's someone who knows exactly where you're coming from.
>>>>>>I have gone to some Nar-Anon meetings, but don't really find it a great fit. Was going to go to an Al-Anon meeting tonite that I'd gone to some years ago & while it was AL- Anon as opposed to NAR - Anon - it felt really supportive. BUT at 95-ish degrees I was just TOO hot to go anywhere. I'm still looking into trying to find support that's really specific & a good 'fit' for me. I suspect I'll need it!!!!!>>>>>
