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'm new here. I sure am having a lousy time. I can't seem to get my stuff together. I am always upset. I have Fibromyalgia and spinal disc problems so I am in a lot of pain. I am trying to become more assertive and not take any abuse from people in my life. I have lost some people in my life because of this. I am feeling that everything is all my fault. That I can't get along with anyone. Truth is I don't even want these people in my life or around me. Unfortunatly one is my husband's twin sister and is nicknamed by me The Queen of All Things and the other is my brother's wife whom I call The Princess. I got sick of being bossed around and controlled and manipulated by the Queen. I got sick of listening to the Princess complain all the time about her terrible pain and all about her life and never listening to anyone else. Or honoring other people's pain. I had an alcholic Father and there is addiction in my family going way back on both sides. I went to Alanon meetings for 15 years or more. My son was an abuser and he died 2 years ago from an overdose. I am screwed up emotionally and full of grief. I am glad to be able to come here.
Welcome to Miracles in Progress. I am sorry for your pain, you will be in good company here, there are several here with fibro and other disabilities that understand. Just remember you can't control the Quenns anymore than you can control an alcoholic. Stress can certainly make us ill, so you are going to need to find an outlet for your stress. Here we like to turn over our problems to a HigherPower, (whom I call God). We give away our problems to someone that actually do something about them.
Please keep coming back so you can find serenity in your life.

Welcome to MIP! I totally understand what you are saying. I hope you find some comfort here. Keep coming back. There are meetings in the chatroom and lots of people who can share what they have done to feel better.
