[QUOTE="KFld, post: 409218, member: 2442"] Nancy, I experienced the same thing with the parent alanon meeting in my area. You had a few minutes at the end of the meeting if you wanted to speak or were in crisis, but nobody was allowed to give you any suggestions, but rather were just able to let you know you aren't alone. After the meeting many of them would get together and talk about their situations, but I never got a warm and fuzzy feeling from anyone as it seemed like there was a group of them that had been attending for a long time and were pretty clicky. I went for quite awhile which enabled me to apply the tools I was learning, but I have been hesitant about going back. My best friends son ended up in the same situation and she tried the meetings and felt the same way. It was been many years since her and I went, probably about 4, so we are thinking about going next Monday and see if it's the same people or if we get any different feeling because she is once again going through the same thing with her son. That is my biggest support. My son became an addict before hers and though she was always very very supportive, didn't really understand until a short time later her son had the same issue. This is the first time we are both going through it together, so we lean on each other daily. [/QUOTE]
