I know my daughter is an A and I`am trying not to engage in any more arguments
with her. I really only want to talk to her about my grandaughter who she has custody of. This 6 year old has heard us have many an argument but mostly sees her mother scream and rage. Over X-mass I heard my daughter call me the filthyest names I have ever heard. Then to top it off I know she hurt my grandaughter twice over the Christmas vacation. Iam so beside myself over all of this. Yesterday in the car my grandaughter tells me the name she used to call me because her mother thought I didnt want to walk out to the door to give her something. Another filthy name. Her mother the A thinks nothing of these incidents and I dont bring them up. My insides are hurt to the very core. My daughter thinks counceling between us will help us. I can only hope that I can let them see what my daughter is doing to her child. In the mean time I have mentioned before I cant get out to meetings because of my neuroimmune illness. I sure could use a little support or advice. I feel so alone.
Wish they had more on-line meetings...
Thanks!

You are not alone, A's have to blame someone they are not going to blame themselves while in active addiction.

I once did the counseling thing with my active A and low and behold he ended up in rehab.....so what do you have to lose..

Hugs to your g-daughter.......she is suffering more than both of you....

Peace,
Andrea
