Family Matters

Sometimes family can drive a person insane. Family come with up's and down's, turmoil, joy, pain, disappointment, and every emotion imaginable. Sometimes the roller coaster ride is enjoyable and sometimes it makes one want to projectile vomit.  One cannot help what family they're born into, and sometimes one can't help but murmur "Why me?" 

As I've stated before, one must have boundaries; consequently, that includes family.  They're vital for healthy, normal relationships. 

All that being said, I'll be participating in my first intervention for a family member on Saturday.  It's long over-due, and at the risk of sounding dramatic it is to the point of a do or die situation.  I will go and say my piece, be supportive of those that are trying to change their lives for the better, and I will not put up with bullshit. I've no taste nor time for it.  I will do my responsibility and duty as a family member. I will not change my stance, and by damn I will not fail. So much is riding on this. It is a bit daunting.
