[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 615931, member: 13542"] Brotherinlaw and UncleJuneBug, welcome. I'm sorry you are going through this with your families. Others have given you excellent advice. If you are interested that article Scent of Cedar mentioned is at the bottom of my post here as well. It is extremely difficult to watch family members abuse or get abused, however, if you have already voiced your concerns to little or no avail, then in order for you to enjoy your own lives, you have to learn detachment. Detachment is about giving up control over something you have no control over anyway. You have no control over what others in your family do and if it interferes in your lives in negative ways then YOU have to take hold of the situation and learn to let go. Ruminating over what others are doing or not doing can and will ruin your own lives when in reality you cannot do anything as long as the parties involved refuse to change. It is not easy but it is necessary to learn to detach from the choices others make and accept it as [B]what is.[/B].........out of your control. Wishing you both peace............ [/QUOTE]
