Thank you so much for all your prayers. It is almost 6:30 a.m. My house is quiet. My daughter and her family have gone. It was chaos here for 2 days. I have a low tolerance for chaos.
Today I am grateful for the son-in-law I thought was the worst thing that ever happened to my daughter when she started seeing him. I am grateful for the resiliency of their children. They are happy little children. I am grateful that their father has been their primary care giver since they were born - it lessens the tragedy of their mother being out of the picture for now. He thinks she will "come around" after a while more. I don't know that she ever will. I am so angry with her.
I am also grateful for my son - last night he had to go to Seattle, but he called to let me know. And he invited me to the official going away party on Saturday.
I am grateful that I have some good habits of sobriety so that even though my life doesn't *seem* very good right now, I can look around and realize that it is. It is life. Life isn't always a sunny day in the park. I do NOT want a drink and I am more grateful every day for my sobriety and a loving God who takes care of me (and all the rest of his children).

I'm glad you have your son-in-law to count on. Hope you have a restful twenty-four.
seattle is close by me... I will say hi!!!!
have a great peaceful daay
Try (your best) to not be angry with your daughter but at the disease, while remembering that every day can't be a Doris Day.
Your list really touched me.
I am glad your grandkids have a dad they can rely upon to do the right thing... and I too share your lack of tolerance for chaos... funny to hear an alcoholic say they can't stand chaos isn't it? sort of ironic considering all that I caused back in the day...
my prayers are with you
