Pinkchip that is exactly the kind of statement that I needed. I just wasn't sure of the wording. You have given me a good tool that I will use. Thanks.

Hullibee, alanon is a whole new way of thinkjng, its like learning another language. From reading your responses here it seems like you are confused and looking for answers. Would you consider going to meetings? This is where you will get the textbooks so to speak to begin the learning. It doesnt take too long in the recovery program to see real improvements in your thinking and then in your actions.

I'm with elcee on this, Hullibee. It is very difficult to establish any new boundaries and stick to them without the support of the face to face groups in my experience. MIP is a wonderful resource with a wonderful group of people and still we know from experience that meetings, working the steps with a sponsor, reading the literature and practicing what we learn brings the best results over time. I hope you do go to meetings and that you keep coming back here, too. Both the meetings and MIP make a huge positive difference in my life.
