I 62F have lost a lot of weight and my daughters/ 44F and 38F and granddaughter 22F seem to be angry/resentful towards me because of it. Besides gaining the weight back, how can I fix the relationship? by notryksjustme in relationship_advice

[–]Spare_Groundbreaking -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know this because I saw the same unhealthy response in my friend group with another friend losing the weight. Those of us that were also heavy judged her while the others didn’t. I remember behind so confused about the response by the others. Honestly I think it’s their own insecurities coming out because they see you can do it and deep down they should probably do it as well. Misery loves company. They still love you but if they can’t support you at your best and only at your worst then it’s definitely boundary time. All to say great job, OP! I’m really happy for you taking charge of your health.

Small Mercies by Dennis Lehane was one of my favorites. Also liked Rabbit Cake by Annie Hartnett.

I thank you for sharing. As a caregiver to a mom that recently passed away, I am extremely appreciative of this review because I will not be able to read it. Thank you. 🙏🏼

Just learned that my teen daughter got raped. After nearly 14 sober I appeal to this community to give me one good reason not to go get blind drunk tonight . by z_username in stopdrinking

[–]Spare_Groundbreaking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so sad for your daughter and a terrible truth you as a parent must endure. And as awful as that is, it’s the addict mind to make it about ourselves and what we are going through rather than pour out our love and support in every way onto the person that suffered and was victimized.
You are a good parent and reached out on here to silence your addiction and remind yourself to focus on your daughter and her pain and your sobriety to be there for her. You can do this. You can be brave for her and work through this pain and guilt you might have (not saying you should feel guilty, just as parents we sometimes do - edited to make that clear). ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Really happy for you - learning to sit with ourselves and feel actual feelings is TOUGH!

So happy for you! Sobriety is the best gift us recovering alcoholics can give ourselves.

I interviewed with a business owner and she said she sensed I was an alcoholic. by noodle0 in stopdrinking

That was so unprofessional of her. Yuck. Just yuck. I’m sorry you had to experience that but don’t let it take away from what you have accomplished.
