[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 511389, member: 13558"] Today difficult child sent out an email to about 10 people inquiring about work in another city and he included a telephone number, I looked it up and it belongs to the girlie from he***. I feel like this email is the 'I am doing better so send money' email. No thanks! The last time his sister tried to call him at that number girlie (37yo) answered and said he was dead. The AlAnon meeting I attended (3 times) was puzzling! First meeting, it was a small group and the meeting was monopolized by a woman talking about the sexual abuse of her 3 adopted difficult children in detail, nothing about drugs or alcohol being involved. She interupted people and said several times she had to leave and walked outside and came back and sat down. When we took a break someone said I can't believe she is back! and I heard someone say maybe she won't be here next time. She did seem a little odd, but it is a support group after all. Second time she came in very late, but started the same behavior! Everyone is polite and doesn't want more drama so they ignore her and just let her ramble. Third meeting people left when she came in lol!! She certainly is a diversion from my problems lol!!!! She didn't look like she had been drinking, maybe she is a little off balance (or a lot). Whatever is going on it's too far for me to travel just to listen to her so I'll find something else. One lady did say she had enough money to buy or build a treatment center and still could not help her son with his addiction. Listening to her talk about all of the money she has spent on setting him up in his own place for years does reinforce the statement that we are only prolonging the 'hit bottom' process. Thank you everyone the support does help! I have a page of affirmations I read and it does help. Hope everyone is having a great weekend! [/QUOTE]
