she's been having a bit of a hard time recently as she broke up with her boyfriend and one of her university flatmates she is finding difficult to live with
The upshot is that she's been spending more time at home and it's just what I needed
We've had lots of lovely conversations and been able to move forward on a lot of things that I felt really guilty about in her upbringing
She's been able to reflect and say outloud that we do have an ok relationship and that she can turn to me for help
This is such a balm to me as I have had a lot of guilt and shame over the things I've put her through in my relationhship with her dad and then my relationship with my current alcoholic partner
today she has been fixing her room up and asked me for help putting a set of drawers together. We spent a lovely couple of hours helping each other and having fun doing it. This is a new departure for us. She is maturing and so I am with al anon's help. I am so grateful for this opportunity
Ms S. That is good news! It is amazing when that moment comes that let's us know, we can do this, we can get healthier.... and we can enjoy life in a way never before possible. John
