This means that you will have family around you this Christmas and this is going to give you some support as you seem very close to them. If they are away and I guess you have been with a poorly son then this isn't easy. Some times family can be too jolly and lacking direction but it's good to know you have them on your side.

One slight word of caution though, if you and W reunite then family may get in the way if they think you are going to get hurt, they may also try to persuade you to move on sooner than you might want to. Fore warned means thanking them for their concern but having a boundary which advises you will do this in your own time.

I was a little confused when you said you were on your own with S but I now understand thank you for clarifying. The prayer you mention is the Serenity Prayer a cornerstone of every 12 step program and a mantra for life. I love it too.

Get some GAL too with your friends and let us know your plans
