So, we both have a HS grad - cool! Kind of exciting huh? What do you have planned?
I also have one SIL BD and one grad child (that we don't get to see because his dad is A. - H has been calling him to invite to AA meetings and is prepared to have him move in with him if his current GF kicks him out) I have three grandchildren that I do not see because of SIL who is A - the other SIL was A but has almost two years sobriety with a second child on the way in July!
So, what am I saying? It runs in families and now that my H is facing his problem, he sees what happened to his sons and now his grandchildren. Evid the oldest grandchild who I never met is 16/17 and has already been in rehab. What a handfull! But the blessing part is... when people become better. It is a rough road but it can go either way.
