I didn't share that much experience, but you're welcome!

I do wish you the best with your Al-Anon meeting! I'm glad you found one and I hope you make it part of your new rountine of self care. Al-Anon changes my perspective on life. It's an ongoing process, but it certainly gives me a healthy perspective each and every time *I choose* to tap into those ideas, thoughts, tools, and guidance. Hmmm....guidance, wasn't that the title of your thread?

I think you will benefit tremendously from Al-Anon. Particularly because you have an alcoholic mother. We grew up with coping mechanisms, and they may have been useful at that time. We don't need those coping mechanisms anymore in our adult lives, but we tend to repeat those thoughts, behaviors, and coping mechanisms. Al-Anon will help you begin to live YOUR life, not play a part in someone else's life. It helps you keep the focus on YOU, and what's important to you.

I really don't think you need your wife's consent for Al-Ateen for your children, but your attorney would know best. Ask that question when you go to your meeting. Also ask about what ages are ok to attend the Al-Ateen meetings there, they often accept children younger than teens.

I wish you the best. Keep me posted, and feel free to pm me. Take care.
