Hi

I know it is very hard to let go especially in the beginning

It is,most helpful to be there now for your 14 year old
listen to her
alateen if needed

Whether your H is just in his addiction or MLC or both,,You are still most powerless
I'm glad you have the support of alanon

He may believe the new R will fix him and he will be happy --but unfortunately that is usually not the way the story here ends

You can spend your time best by going to counseling alone and getting support thru alanon-working on you
He will spiral down more and get even more crazy

By working the steps and making some new support friends
try to have some fun

remember none of this is your fault,,
an alcoholic is a ticking bomb ready to explode at any time
You can take care of you and your D
Make sure if she goes with him..he is sober and safe

hang in

It takes time but most of us land on our feet and usually better
than b4
