Hanging on to the roller coaster

[labug]

Did you check out any AlAnon meetings you could attend?

It's not your job to take care of him of be there if when he hits bottom. You have no idea when that will be, if ever. Your job is you and your kids.

Here are some guidelines for boundaries:
HAVE CLEARLY DEFINED EXPECTATIONS.
CLEARLY DEFINED CONSEQUENCES THAT DON'T DISRUPT YOUR SERENITY.
SET THEM CLEARLY.
COMMUNICATE THEM CLEARLY.
ENFORCE THEM CONSISTENTLY
WITHOUT REGARD FOR THE RELATIONSHIP (RELEASE ANY EXPECTATIONS)

(Sorry for the caps, I'm not really yealling)

Take care.
