Sisters

[SunnyGirl]

I am one of 3 sisters.... The middle one!
The youngest sis (my qualifier) is convinced that the two older
sisters are plotting against her. She is playing the "poor me"
card! She has told all that will listen, that I hate her! This is
far from the truth, I love my sister, but I hate her addiction.
Today, I am in a place where I can not deal with her! I have
pulled away to the point where I just do not want any more
contact with her. Today, I refused to get on that roller coaster
of emotional warfare that most of our conversations end up in.
I'm not doing that ride.... Just for today, I will draw my line
in the sand and say, no more. I can do anything for 24 hours!
And tomorrow I will start a brand new day and try to remember
to Keep it Simple. I am to old to be riding that roller coaster......


Peace on the journey, SunnyGirl

I have a middle sister that is a heroin addict, she tires her damest to stay sober but its a ongoing 30 year battle for her. She thinks that I am not loving her either, but its just the opposite I love her with al my heart, its that I learn to "detach" her ways with love. She just don't get it I think.
Hopefully she will stay sober before its too late.

Was just shairng with my Al-Anon sponsor about this yesterday. I am the oldest of three. My youngest sister and I are just not on the same page. Although she admits, that if she drank, she would drink alcoholicly, but seeing as she is a good Christian girl and doesn't drink, there is nothing wrong with her and doesn't need Al-Anon even though she stayed longer than I did in our dysfunctional alcoholic and food addict home. My middle sister admits to a lot of mental problems and she chooses the church although she has been to meetings with her ex.

I am glad I don't have her anger and have a program that helps me cope with life on life's terms, of which my sister is a part. For the most part, I detach. I hadn't heard from her for several weeks and she didn't contact me at Thanksgiving, so I picked up the phone and called her. She ended up asking me if my son and I wanted to go there for Christmas and whether we wanted to be included in the name drawing for gifts. I told her I would get back to her after I talked to my son. It will depend on when my surgery is booked.

Thank you both for the reminder..... Detach with love!
Just because my "A" is having a pity party, doesn't mean
I have to attend. Hugs, SunnyGirl
