[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 608398, member: 1550"] You don't have to speak in an Al-Anon meeting unless you want to, but you can gain a lot of support and skills and even love by just listening. The others understand. Interestingly enough, at my Al-Anon meeting we are all ladies. When it is a child that is the problem, the fathers, like your husband, are unwilling to come with the wives. It's not uncommon for them to lag way behind. Look for an all male Al-Anon meeting. Maybe your hub would do better with that. My daughter never went to rehab, but we did make her leave and she talked her VERY straight arrow brother into letting her stay with him. Before she left our house she shouted, "I will hate you until I die! I will never speak to you again!" For three weeks she didn't and I cried. Even though she had created chaos and numerous police visits and drug-fueled tantrums, I was still her mom and my heart was broken. No contact is very difficult for some of us at first. [/QUOTE]
