[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 635286, member: 15801"] See if you can find a parents meeting. I go to a wonderful meeting that is for parents... we have a couple of people there for spouses and they keep coming to this meeting because it is such a great group of people but the vast majority are parents. And it is interesting because there is a wide range of ages... from a couple of people with teens, to several with kids in their 20s to some elders with kids in their 40s. I think I would have some trouble at an alanon meeting if everyone was dealing with spouses. Although the alanon principals are the same, I think there are some differences for us in dealing with a spouse and addiction vs a child dealing with addiciton. I think the detachment, although again similar in principal, feels a bit different. At least that is the way it feels to me.... but I am blessed not to have this issue with my spouse so maybe i dont know. TL Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
