yes yes yes
my mom still manages to walk and talk with her head in the sand. if she doesn't acknowledge that anything is wrong, then nothing is wrong. right up until the day she left my dad she never said a word about her plans to leave (and she didn't take me along!) so i have some deep scars and issues about abandonment. even now mom goes so far as to only watch soap operas on tv and reads no newspapers. very isolated. my dh on the other hand is like a news addict - hurricane season, omigod he is glued to the weather channel. but when it comes to personal problems he says nothing. sees a lot but says nothing.so i realized that the situation with my step daughter is very triggering for my alcoholism. i see my pdoc tomorrow and might ask about adjusting my Campral dosage. right now i feel like throwing it all away, which is not how i usually approach my life.
thanks for sharing hf sorry i can't be bothered to use caps this afternoon but it's that kind of day. i've made myself a cup of tea and i'm going to disappear into a book for a little bit.
thanks again this means a lot to me.
