[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 750858, member: 23405"] I feel like I didn't even realize I had those issues until I walked through the doors of Al anon a few years ago and then this forum reinforced my knowledge. I'd like to look at is as "good news". Once we finally know we have a problem we can hopefully find the right tools and support to get better. It's all in how "we work it". For myself, living with a severe alcoholic and all the drama that goes with that along with two sons who gave us all their issues taking care of "things" began as a necessity to survival. I put out fires, tried to get kids out of legal trouble etc. It snowballs and before you know it you've built yourself an avalanche just ready to cave in on you...and it will mostly definitely will. Then we go ahead and beat ourselves up for being the fixers and rescuers. I'm trying to be more compassionate with myself now. [/QUOTE]
