I think my brother in law thought it would be a straight road. What with my sister doing so well for four weeks. It was a miracle in my eyes too. But being on here has made me realise that relapses can happen after seeing other peoples stories. It helps.
It’s a hard decision to make separating, is he putting the ball in your court?
It’s good that you have been helped going to the al-anon meeting hopefully it will give you insight and you won’t have to separate. (Unless of course you decide you want to.)
I have asked her to go to an open meeting al-anon next week with my other sister and myself going for support. Hopefully then she can go on her own and feel comfortable. We do all need to talk to people in a similar situation and from your experience it looks like a positive move for us.
Keep strong.
