I just started my dyslexia training, the class is hard and so many roadblocks before the class started. Husband lost job, son two surgery's on his elbow. I am able to concentrate in class and do the homework so far.... Last night brother who spent three years in prison called., he was drinking.... what else God? I feel like saying, leave me alone. Brother is going back to wife again, she still drinks. Part of me says, stop answering the phone when he calls... it's not going to be good. Here's the kicker, yesterday my husband took brother to the conveninece store to get a beer. Sometimes, I hate my husband. Last night after getting off the phone with brother who told me he had been drinking, I just sat down and cried.
((((Robin)))) First of all good for you-taking the dyslexia training and trying to focus on you. I know it is REALLY hard when things are all over the place like they are right now for you, but I found that is when I really need to trust in my HP and put my energy and focus on Him and I. Remember there is nothing that you and your HP can't do together. This too shall pass:)

Hi Robin, Keep the focus on you and your program. I know how hard it is to focus on school work when all chaos is going on around you. Try to detach from the alcoholics in your life and concentrate on your school. I am. Keep going to meetings and coming in here and posting, it will keep you going.

((((((((((((((((((((Robin)))))))))))))))))))) I see how strong you are and yea, sometimes, it is just good to sit and CRY!!!! You keep up the GREAT work taking care of you......Screw all this mess!!! It is NOT your problem........I've seen enough of your posts to know that soon as you (and I hope you let them) Let the FEELINGS pass through you, you will get up----- Do what you gotta do to take care of you------ and let these guys take care of their OWN crap...........Its OK to FEEL....its OK to feel hatred.........Just let it pass through you....Dont dwell on it and that way detachment will kick in instead of resentment....HONOUR yourself and your feelings...Looks like you are doing that............TAKE CARE OF YOU................I know you can do it!!!!!!!
Get the focus back on you robin quick , u can do this . u need this course . Nothing u can do about brothers drinking I know u know that (hugs) and as for hubby he just dosent get it , so forgive him and let it go . If hubby hadn't bought him a beer someone else would . focus focus focus . Louise
