[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 478390"] I guess I missed much discussion about Al Anon. I haven't been since that wasn't our situational need. I have a friend that went to it and got much out of it. We went to Families Anonymous briefly. They too dealt primarily with adult children and primarily with substance abuse. Still...not our primary issue. (Our difficult child's primary concern is mental illness). Anyway, we still found it to be very helpful. Don't know what the main difference is between Al Anon or FA, however, I can tell you that these folks were TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT. They meet once a week NO MATTER WHAT and this includes CHRISTMAS and some have been meeting for well over a decade whether or not their difficult child has gotten better, stayed the same or has gotten worse, etc. Bottom line...if Al Non is not a fit for whatever reason, you can check out FA. But again, I hope you guys think about seeing a counselor....at least for a little while. My heart goes out to you as well. [/QUOTE]
