Sometimes I am happy, knowing our family is going to be on a new adventure. Other times I am sad that we are going to be needing to move from our current home in order to be a part of that adventure.
Then other days I am Eeyore, perplexed, thinking, "What adventure? I don't want to be Pollyanna!"
Then I have to express my condolences to my Eeyore and say, "It's all in how you look at it. Maybe tomorrow, Ee, you'll see the good?"
I am a member of Emotions Anonymous, which adapts AA's 12 steps for recovery from alcoholism, to recovery from emotional illness. Sojourning in Al-anon, a program for family members of recovering alcoholics, has helped me in dealing with my family, which was impacted by borderline personality disorder. Feel free to read!
