[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 610065, member: 15801"] I am sorry you didnt find an alanon group for parents. I just think there is a big difference in dealing with an alcoholic or drug addict who is your husband, brother etc than dealing with one who is your child. It may be hard not to enable a parent or a sibling but I dont think it compares to not enabling your child, where it has been our role to take care of and protect!! It does take a while to get used to the no advice part of alanon, but I have gotten to really like that part.... and often after meetings I talk specifics with others in the program. What I do like is meeting other parents who know exactly what I a going through and who have insights from their own lives that apply to mine. I hope you keep finding support here and elsewhere.
