what I have noticed about the adult children of any major dysfunction is that the adult children have similar problems and ways of coping with life. The variable seems to be what is the dysfunction in the parents. Whether it is alcohol, drugs, a mental health issue or just plain dysfunctional living--it is the lack of control and the feeling that life makes no sense that is the shared legacy.
I hope you will go. Please let us know what you think.

The thing that really caught my attention about the conversation I had with the other woman in the shelter about ACOA/AA stuff was the behavior of self-isolation because it echoed what I just read recently in the book by Nuala O'Faolain because she describes her mother as being isolated.
The lady here was telling me how un-social she is but she seems quite personable to me. It made me start thinking about my own behavior and wondering how much may be some sort of self-isolating habit?
Well, I looked up the time and place info for the local meeting next week, I may go.

Clearly I need a new strategy.

Hey Muffin...
that self-isolating effect... has a why with it - why self-isolate?
The reasons are as different as there are people... but I think the feeling that goes with it is the same one (manifested differently).
