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.
