struggling but there is hope


I can actually see the other side w/o projecting too much. I am not making a lot of sense sometimes but I do know where I am coming from. I actually have a little serenity. I only hope that I can continue to go to meetings & find that there but also find some on my own. My mom is not getting better fast enough for me. Tonight I am going to see her again & have some trepidation about it. I am actually anxious about how it is going to go this time. I hope she is in better condition but I can only hope right now. She is going to have to recover on her own time. She doesn't have to be any more than she is right now. I will hang in there through it all. I still believe that it will get better. Sometimes I don't because I fear that she might have dementia. If she does, I will deal w/her situation when it arises. The doctor will let us know if that is the case as I don't want to diagnose her condition.

Well...I am on this journey but not alone. Like my sponsor said, I am fortunate that I have a lot of support & that some people have little or none. I am truly blessed!

Glad to hear you are going to meetings and do have a sponsor. The fact your mom is notgetting better fast enough for you.....keep in mind. We don't get sick overnight and won't get well overnight either. Just keep taking care of you and before you know it, you won't care if she is getting better fast or not.

i know that  Mom attends alanon meetings at times  so maybe just reading the C2C out loud to her would help both of you

In my thoughts
