Just stopping in to say hello!!!

Just to update all my MIP partners in crime.  The battle still continues for my sanity and I am happy to say that

though the struggle continues I am learning new ways beyond Al Anon to cope.  Whenever the alcoholic narcissistic

monster rears it's ugly head due to it's inability to deal with stress (definitely needs anger management therapy)

I try not to engage to much, but will not relinquish my dignity and freedom, a new purple ribbon or silk flower

appears in one room and most recently on the front door and my car.  It is my way of fighting back and making

my world a bit less dreary.  Had to buy, on my meager SS benefits a new air conditioner for the second floor 

today and it had an absolute nervous breakdown, shouting and pouting and feeling oh so sorry for itself that

it had to be put in.  Was told that, because I am retired and it is not yet, that I live the life of luxury and have

no business in his class of working folk.  Mind you I take care of the house cleaning (everything), food shopping,

the gardens, my car and cat, all with a deteriorated spine.  Thanks for listening and hope you are all well. 

{{HUGS}} 

P.S.  My Dad past away May 31st and we buried him June 5th 2026 and then had to put my mother into the hands of Hospice

       because she is end stage heart failure.

Glad you are here, keep strong and it looks like you're using your al-anon program tools in aspects of your life

Take care and keep coming back

{{{Deb}}} So sorry to hear about your losses and stressors. Life is yin and yang for sure--the good with the bad. I hear you are trying the best that you can with the circumstances you have. That's all we can do. I try to stay in the day I have and look for gratitude and blessings. My life is surrounded with stress from siblings and spouse, and my own health issues. It certainly can be a challenge. Keep on keeping on.

Wow!! It's wonderful to hear from you . Your insights got me through some tough times (and Lyne). I am sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom a year ago. I have been struggling with my husband which led me to seek guidance. I apply many Al-Anon tools but have fallen into the trap of going at it alone. At least this morning asked my HP for help and I was led here. Thanks for sharing your message of hope. Have a blessed day. (((HUGS)))
