Hi Vwgirl and Kat,
Actually someone sent me that a couple of days ago...it was so funny...but that is how I feel today. Kat, smacking Bob won't help this time although couldn't hurt huh? LOL
I tell ya sometimes family will do anything in there power to bring you down. And I have found the ones that aren't addicts can be the worst manipulators even worse then the addict themselves. It really sucks. My mother is acting like a 2 year old. I already have major issues with her but this one really took the cake. Blaming my children for something they didn't do. And when I asked her about it she wanted me to ask the kids. I will not do that to my children. I think you both know my story if not its on this page somewhere. Anyway the issues I have with my step father...I thought my mother showed up without him on Christmas for me...as it turned out that wasn't the case.. apparently my children were rude to him when he knocked on the door and told him they couldnt open the door. These are my rules. I dont think there is anything wrong with them. I said anyone that even means grandparents . This way I dont have to go into whos allowed and whos not...causes too much confusion. Then my mom gave me some crap about how next time they wont get anything. This whole thing caused an arguement mostly cause my mother lives in denial. I have shared about this at meetings and it really irks me when I hear how I should be grateful to have a mother. Even my sponsor said this to me. Well I am sorry her mother has died but mine is a total witch. She has been this way all mylife. She chooses to live in denial and that is up to her but I dont have to be dragged in to anymore. I could of avoided this whole situation if I had stuck to what I said to begin with. That was not to have her here Christmas at all.
Ok well I rambled on long enough here...lol anyway I got thru Christmas and New years without a drink or drug...which is amazing to me with all this crap. I just know that it isnt the answer to my problems. Who ever said just because you get sober your problems will go away? LOL yea i know.....
take care

Gina, Yep, feelings and emotions can change on a dime can't they? Your doing great though just by staying clean and sober...family stuff is a major trigger for me too...but most of the time it is ex-family, ie, ex-husband. Went to my nooner meeting today and gave my Sponsor an 18 year birthday cake and took her out to lunch to celebrate. Getting home, I remembered I hadn't opened my mail box in the last couple days...alas, there is a "love" note from my ex-husband's attorney...I go back to court on Wednesday and it put me in such a funk reading all the b.s. that my ex comes up with...oh, well, this too shall pass...I've managed to stay sober and that is the good news. Despite it all let's try to pray for those who bother us the most...because remember resentments are the number one offender we are told. I'm here for ya!
Hi,
