Dear Dawn,

13 months is a long time! Congratulations to both of you! I loved Al-anon. You can't help but become a better person for it. I met the most wonderful people there.

I am sorry you're in this struggle, however, and am sending prayers for your serenity.

My daughter went a few times, years ago. It was weird - one of the women asked her not to come back because this woman's daughter was my daughter's neighbor. Nobody knew that she went to Al-anon and she didn't want Jessie to tell her. Isn't that awful! I think Jessie is also in heavy denial, or she would have found a better group after a while.
