I understand how frustrated you must feel at your recent attempts to get answers in the meeting room. As many had stated in your initial post the room format is there for everyone to follow as it is in f2f meetings.
If you are interested in going to the Convention I will be going down and staying at a nearby hotel as I missed room reservations. I would be willing to share a room with you and your son. If transportation is an issue I would also be willing to pick you both up as I have to go that way anyway.
I can assure you that Alanon is not a cult. We are just a fellowship of people who have or are living with this insideous disease. We all share the same heartaches of watching the ones we love self destruct. Only you can decide if this program is for you. So many of us have learned to find true happiness in this program. However, we had to make a commitment to ourselves and a new way of life. We had to let go of the anger and learn to feel and walk through our pain.
I live in western MA and would be willing to meet with you if you want to talk. I hope you will stick w/ the program. I know for me it saved my life on many occasions.

You are the bomb "teenage talk" as you know which means you are awesome!!!
Barbara, I just wanted to add that your son is welcome to the hotel where the conference is even if you are booked in another hotel. There are kids that come for alateen and also to hang out, etc. There's a pool which I am sure no one will ask him what room he's in etc. It's such a busy place during the conference, he would not be "out of place." And hey, he may even want to attend a meeting if he meets some cool kids at the pool or the dance (which the kids go to) or just hanging out.
