Hi! I just realized that it has been four months since I last posted. I have so much to be thankful for! Life is good! I've been dating a guy that I met online six months ago and he is so wonderful and supportive. I can't believe how my life has changed since five years ago when I thought that I was at the lowest of lows after leaving my AH. My adult AD still does not communicate with me, but I am giving her the space, and the grace, to figure things out on her own. "Her rejection is God's protection." Thank God for Al-Anon! I never would have found the serenity I have today if it wasn't for this program. Thanks for letting me share smile

Hugs,

GE

Thanks for your kind responses. As a parent of an adult-aged AD, I'm reposting something that I shared last year on this board:


Here is an excerpt from the Al-Anon pamphlet, "Parents of Alcoholics." It was shared by permission by the recovering son of an Al-Anon member:

Keep me barely floating and I will learn to swim...
Prop me up and I may learn to stand...
Give me a push and I may learn to walk...
And then run and cry and laugh and maybe even live...
But remember, none of it starts until you let go and barely keep my floating.
I love you more for making me do it alone than for any of the help have ever gotten from you. This will happen; I will fix it alone or with help, but I will do this. The task is mine, the work is mine, and the reward will be mine as well.

(((Hugs)))

GE
