The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
While my situation is so different and I can only imagine some of the pains you must feel, I'm glad to see that you can use your talents to let those feelings out and express them.

That was beautiful Lauren, I have lost most of my family, and find it so hard to trust too, but we are never really alone. We have each other here,and lots and lots of friends who understand us and really care! and most important, our HPs! We all have our 'down' times, and there is always someone here to cheer us on, to believe in us. I am so thankful for the wonderful people I have 'met' here. It sure has made a difference in my life since I started coming to this board. Keep on writing the beautiful poetry!! You are a very special person, and so talented! Love Ya, TLC
Hi L I am a returning member of or to alanon. My Ex brought me back. Rather, the behaviour displays made me self talk me back into alanon. This ia a / the proximal time, however, my family lost our ma, as she crossed over to the other side. My family is still healing, however we are coming to terms with ourselves, our healing and I keep sharing the serenity pray and alanon steps with them. Mostly by action or by living out o d a a t process. It's safe here to one day at a time it - sometimes it truly is one second at a time, just the same. Most recently my family had several members cross over to the other side. There is / was no thing I could do about it. They just take off - cya and bye bye as well as my ex, who I had to say later to. My thoughts r with ya as u make ur way through this, I have gone to sleep many nights chanting the serenity prayer in that I did not know whut else to think. Regards and oceans of love, \/\/ille
You are not alone - you have us and your HP? How sad for you to miss your family. Trust might be about protecting yourself with stronger boundaries. You sound like me. I use to take everything that happened or was said straight to the core. With the help of boundaries I can be more of an observer for some things. And for those like your brother and mother, boundaries can help soften the impact.
