LJ, this is what I am told over and over, and have been told in the past. I know its true, I guess I feel like I have done more than enough to help her at the expense of my own well-being and the well-being of my kids. She is still in a great deal of denial when she does call from the facility. She recently told me "I dont know why I am here" and that tells me a lot. Doesnt sound like shes ready yet \:\(

Donette,
Her sister attended her first Alanon meeting yesterday, I couldnt go because 2 of my girls had soccer. I have been making myself familiar with AA/Alanon through the web and plan to attend when I can get a free moment (which doesnt come easy anymore). She tells me she is struggling with the whole "higher power" thing, and having trouble getting past the 1st step. I dont know, I wish I could cut these emotional ties, for all practical purposes the rest of the ties have already been cut.
