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.
The isms of this disease live on in my family and sometimes they are very clear to see. There is drama going on in my family right now. I dont know exactly what it is because, I resisted turning into a detective, I did not snoop or pry and I did not manipulate people to get involved and fix. Its interesting because I was so tempted to just say, right whats going on, tell me the full story, I was tempted to go get involved, me to the rescue, the urge was strong but... i did not do any of it. Im sure the information will come to me and I hope to remain strong and keep my distance and control over myself, not be judgemental, offer advice, control or manipulate. Il just say, i believe you can handle this the right way. Im sure I can do it.x
Temptation to find out and fix was strong in me. It takes a lot of strength not do do something. I would always step in to control thinking it help him only to find out I was just doing it for me to feel good....even for a little while.
Good for you taking the steps for work on you and let HP take care of the drama.
(((( hugs ))))
