I did make an appointment today with a therapist, and told her about my ACOA and grief issues. I already feel better having taken this step.
That's fantastic! You are on your way!For the orphanage, can it be all ages? I know some 18 year old kids aging out of foster care that still need families and homes. ANd multi-generational relationships are great for what we learn from one another. Hugs to you! I'm proud of you, Caliope - for staying sober tonight and more importantly, making a commitment to yourself by taking these first steps!
