FAMILY BUTTONS:

Who knows better how to push our buttons than family members?

No matter how long we or our family members have been
recovering, relationships with family members can be provocative.

One telephone conversation can put us in an emotional and
psychological tailspin that last for hours or days.

Sometimes, it gets worse when we begin recovery because we
become even more aware of our reactions and our discomfort.

The process of detaching in love from family members can take
years. So can the process of learning how to react in a more
effective way. We cannot control what they do or try to do, but we
can gain some sense of control over how we choose to react.

Their patterns, particularly their patterns with us, are their
issues. How we react, or allow these patterns to influence us, is our
issue.

We can love our family and still refuse to buy into their issues. We
can love our family but refuse their efforts to manipulate, control,
or produce guilt in us.

We can learn to love our family without forfeiting love and respect
for ourselves.
