[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 385405"] Star you are so incredibly awesome!!! I swear I love reading your posts. I [I]am[/I] going to find a therapist because you are exactly right. I can vent to everyone and anyone and it is not getting me anywhere but distanced from those very people. I am excited about going - I have SOOOO much to release!!!! I am also going to an Alanon meeting on Monday night. I need it.
