[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 651930, member: 1963"] Well, I am STILL stewing over this. Especially as my mother called me because my sister called her (at a more "reasonable" hour of the AM, but still woke her up) to complain that I was angry at her and she didn't know why. I told my mother what was going on, including the fact that my sister was loaded when she called me and what time she called me, and my mother told me that she'd chipped in a few times to help my sister make rent and that she'd already refused to co-sign on the new place. The problem I now have is that I'm royally P.O'd and have no idea how to vent off the anger, nor how to deal with this. I don't "do" addicts real well, and my sister and her BiPolar (BP) and the addictions have been a factor in my life since our teens. The upshot is that I called MY therapist and left a message asking her to find out about Al-anon meetings in the area. My therapist just called me back slightly freaked out as she thought I was asking for info on AA, as opposed to Al-anon. Once we got that little issue straightened, she told me that there's an open meeting tomorrow at the same center I go to for counselling, so I'm going to check that out. Should be interesting. I'm nervous in groups, don't believe in a higher power of any kind, and plan on sitting and listening. I figure if nothing else, maybe I can pick up some pointers on doing something more useful than picking my sister up by her ears and shaking her until her teeth fall out of her head. Argh... [/QUOTE]
