[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 561980, member: 59"] Sig I had a very hard time finding an al-anon group that I fit in, like you most were of spouses and the meetigns very structured with little or no discussion. The parent group I'm in now is connected with a men's sober house in the area and I am the only parent with a daughter and not connected to that group. However I have become very good friends with some of the members and we have real thought provoking discussions. I have led a couple meetings and have several more in theupcoming months. I feel a real connection with some of them, however it is hard because I am somewhat of an outsider. So this forum is my lifeline and I feel like I know all you personally and if we got in a room together it would be like we were long lost friends. I find it very difficult to understand why my difficult child wants to live isolated from her family. Like I've said before I would have loved to grow up in our family and some of difficult child's friends have said how much they love us. But I guess difficult child has made up in her mind that she doesn't need to have a relationship with her and only calls when she needs something. I think some people just don't make the connections with people the way we do and don't have the need for family connections. It use to hurt a lot more than it does now. I think I've finally figured out that o matter who her family was she would be the same. Nancy [/QUOTE]
