Hope for Today - came in the mail this morning. I really like it so far - think it will help a lot :) 

 

I still get a bit angry and emotional when I think about my AH (father) and his behavior. We have closed the door on him asking him to go to rehab. But we told him we will support him if he does go so we are giving him a chance, but ask him to come clean about his lies - and he does not care, he just keeps on lying and has no interest in repairing his relationship with us. Everyone deserves a second chance - well he is really lucky to have one after all the horrible things he has done... but he has no interest. It's really hard for me to think about this.. and I keep getting this into my mind again and again. 

 

Anyways, don't want to post something so gloomy on this nice Saturday without saying something nice too - I have a really nice day planned and hope you guys will have a great weekend :)

I have learned to let go but never give up. I have learned that my son has to do this without my input or help. When the day comes he go's into recovery for good I will be there 200% for him. Until then I take care of me and pray for the strength and courage to continue to let go with Love and Kindness and that way I don't hurt inside so much anymore.

((( hugs )))

Layla I am glad that you have this book. It is a powerful recovery tool for us all.

Acceptance of our past and letting go of the pain of childhood takes time and it is a process.
Be gentle with yourself and keep coming back.

Prayers for you and your family

Glaf to see you have your book. The daily readings are important. I know for me the F2F meetings are few & far for me. At least I have this forum is available 24 hours a day seven days a week.
