[QUOTE="Mechdonna2, post: 600501, member: 16068"] Barbara, Thank you so much for your posting. You brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry you have one sister who would rejoice in your pain. It is hard to believe. I will see my sister today, but I will have a wall up. My mother is a peacemaker, and she invited me to join them for lunch. I don't know what is going on with my sister. I don't know why she thought I was wrong for these 20 plus years. I knew that my son was an alcoholic and she told me I was wrong. She does admit that he needs a psychiatrist. In my mind, a psychiatrist is of no use while he refuses to stop using. She may be reacting out of fear. She is married to an alcoholic and her children may be at risk. She has four that range from Sophomore in college to fourth grade. All of her children have been very active in soccer. She and her husband push themselves to the point of exhaustion quite often. I have never done that. I enjoy peace and try to be healthy. You are so right that most of us once were proud of our parenting skills. Most of the time I centered my life around my one child. Thanks again for your comforting thoughts. Yes, I can see us on the beach at the Gulf Coast. I just spent time with my one of my three brothers. We understand each other and are very close. We spent some time at a beach in NC. [/QUOTE]
