    Sharing experience, strength and hope, Al Anon. I always thought of Al Anon members as doormats. People who put up with drunkards and will...forever, willingly. I still do.

    And detach with love.

    And not stopping the drinker from experiencing the consequence of their actions.

    That's one way to look at it. I respect that. I wouldn't take responsibility for another's actions ever anyway, I pay the consequences for my own actions and fully expect others to do the same. Oh it's been fun for sure 😉🙉 I'm only capable of detaching with love, a lot of physical distance and a measure of disgust. I'm not one to set the bar so low, having a relationship with someone who only thinks of themselves. I expect more out of life, myself and choosing to be around people who are incapable of loving themselves, let alone me... why do that? No thanks. The long suffering martyrdom, telling yourself you'll get good Karma or Browny points in heaven or some other such horseshit sounds retarded to me. To each his own. Dr. Uncle Phil always says, " when someone tells you who they are, believe them". I for one agree. I Skyped Mum, asked her if maybe one week would be better instead of two. Can't blame a woman for trying right? Throw it against the wall....see if it sticks 👍🏿 So far, radio silence....🤞🏾

    There's no brownie points for sure.

    I heard a saying: "Trying to get love from an addict is like going to the hardware store for bread." Ain't gonna happen.

    It is sad to see someone so alone, extreme and miserable.

    I know, you are so very right. It is heartbreaking.

    I just don't have anything left to give to people who are self destructive. My heart is frozen to them, won't let them in, fed up,period. To each his own, I'm tapped out and glad of it. I am going forward and would never judge anyone who is not on the same page as me. People should follow their ❤️
