Hello! I was wondering if you guys know anybody or has been through separation with your loved one without communication that was successful in the end. What made you be strong and what steps did you take?
Thank you!
Hi Hopefultoday,
My wife and I are in the process of separation with my 22 yr old son while he is in another state in a sober living house. There is minimal communication and when we do talk it is brief. We let him know we love him and support him but he needs to do this on his own, because everything we had done in the past didn't work. It isn't a walk in the park and I am always questioning myself. We started attending AL Anon meetings 2 weeks ago and they have helped immensely. I am also wondering about any success stories but the more I read here and learn from the meetings, the percentage is low, but not impossible. One mantra that sticks in my head is "Nothing changes unless everything changes"

Hi justadad, I understand what you are going through and same here! In my case I have decided to not comunicate with my Ah until he gets his act together. It has been very hard but I am being strong! :) I also want to hear more stories about this because it gives me hope.
Sounds like we are in the right track... Just gotta keep living one day at the time as well work on ourselfs and let the higher power take care of them because we can't control, cure, and change them.
Have a great weekend!
