12/15 Children of Addicts

Quote From: princess1

Your mother's choice to drink is not your fault.  Your father's choice to leave you is also not your choice.  It is their fault for making the choices they have made in life.  You did not ask to be born; and it seems like your parents failed miserably in their parenting skills.  Just because someone has the biological ability to reproduce does not qualify them to be parents.  I am so sorry for the things you have had to go through because of the choices your parents made.  You did not ask to be born, so there should be no "price for being born".  You are not alone, there are many of us who suffer depression and other daily struggles due to our parents choice to drink or do drugs.  God may be using you in ways you can't see.  Remember you can do ALL things through Christ who stregnthens you.

I so agree....except with your religious constrictions.  In Al-Anon, I have learned to respect all people's paths to spirtuality.

 

One is not better than another.  I love that.

 

It's given me freedom to love everyone, regardless of their religious persuasions.  It's given me an open door to exploring my own spirituality.

 

I appreciate that freedom.

Thanks so much for all of the quotes but agian no help.  When did this turn into a battle of faith or not faith.  i have gone to AA and you know what I learned.  Your family is not to be first no matter what you believe your faith to be and when I was commanded of that I learned that the one thing that would get me through this was my husband.  To tell you the truth not sure why he is still around.  It was not until after that when faith came in.  I live this life every day and everyday I find some feel good method entering into my life but I was still left and am left every time I speak to my father.  I am still thrown away like trash every day but yet people still every opportunity to use someone else's pain and conflict for thier own personal soap box for whatever fight or cause.  It's America that is what we do.  Not real sure why I even shared in the first place.
