FAMILIES:

~

We may love and care about our family very much. Family members
may love and care about us. But interacting with some members may
be a real trigger to our loss of sanity – sometimes we go into a deep
level of shame, rage, anger, guilt, and helplessness.

It can be difficult to achieve detachment, on an emotional level, with
certain family members. It can be difficult to separate their issues
from ours. It can be difficult to own our power.

The first step in separating our issues is awareness and acceptance
– simple acknowledgement, without guilt, of our feelings and
thoughts. We do not have to blame our family members. We do not
have to blame or shame ourselves. Acceptance is the goal
– acceptance and freedom to choose what we want and need to do
to take care of ourselves with that person. We can become free of
the patterns of the past. We are recovering. Progress not perfection.
