Thanks (((((((((Rayna))))))))))

Yes, you are so right about the co-dependent person being just as unreachable. She has been to Alanon meetings when she was a teen, but not for some time now. But you know, she knows all the signs, she knows what the scoop is. Just as I learned it all and taught her and her sister. And you are right, I am powerless over her choices as they are hers and not mine.

I think she is making headway in this situation though. She did really good at not accepting his excuses, not enabling him this time. She is trying hard, I just wish she could cut the heart strings that connect the two of them. As much as they love each other, it is such a destructive relationship.

Oh, and no I have never been to Alanon. Everything I learned about substance abuse came from my research over the years as well as personal experience. Not meaning that I was abusing substances...LOL.

Thanks hon for your support....I look up to you and your wisdom!

Hugssssssss
