The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I accept my AH is in denial and isnt going to change (stinks but its true)
I educate myself and try to educate my lil boy on safety (even escape plans) and not going down the alcoholic toilet as he grows up with an alcoholic dad.
I teach my son to talk about his feelings about things that happen and how evil alcohol can effect people we love. Its still ok to love them, but we dont have to be around when they make bad choices like drinking and attitudes. And we dont have to hold any quilt of their choices or ours.
He knows there is NO silence in our family over behaviours... ANY and all topics are open for discussion !
My son makes me proud when he says things like .. We cant make dad's choices for him. or we are all responsible for our choices. (8 yrs old) and he "gets it" at least alot more than his A dad.
Trusting my higher power to help this cycle break after his dad's generation.

Wow Sweeetr you got a little "mini me" right there and he is legs up on the future disease problems. Good for you. I use to try to impress on my parents when I was counseling to do the same thing so that they don't come up blind on how to respond to the crises and chaos of the disease. Bravo for you big (((((hugs)))))
