BCI Pam - I'm so sorry for your family. Just don't know what to say. Hang in there.

Pam,

How devastatingly sad for you and your family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. You've had some wise advice already from some of the ladies here. I hope that will help you. I also hope you can feel the caring and concern that's here for you. You will need that in the days and weeks to come.

I'm very sorry Pam. Take care of yourself, and your family. Blessings.

This touches home with me. Please comfort your sister and make sure she knows that she did the right thing in getting out and getting the one child out of that situation. I was married to an alcoholic and firmly believe that I saved my own life the day I walked out. I tried to save both of us, but when that didn't work, I had to save myself. The son will come to realize this in time.

And, for what it's worth, I have Travelers Ins - love them.

I second Pedal Wench. Pam, I know you don't believe this right now, but no one can force an alcoholic to get help. They have to want to do it on their own. I had the courts force my ex into treatment. He was a nice guy to me for about a month and went back to his old habits. One thing I would highly recommend for everyone is Al-Anon and Ala-Teen. It's free and there are chapters and meetings literally everywhere. Get the family to a meeting. Just sit there and listen at the first meeting and go with your instinct after that. It was by far the best gift I gave myself to heal.

((hugs and prayers)). This too shall pass even though the burden is heavy. Trust in the Lord Pam and he'll see you through it.

God Bless,

Pam you and your family are in my thoughts. The TE family will be here sending you good thoughts and strength to deal with this. Hang in there and don't forget to get help not only for your family but for yourself, too.

In my thoughts and prayers
Sometimes life is one-thing-after-another it seems like
Flights usually keep back a seat or two for politicians or people in dire circumstances apparently. I found this out when I had to get from Israel to New Zealand when my brother died.

Keep on the Look-out for nice and pleasant little things (flowers, sunrises/sunsets,acts of kindness,songs, etc) to keep your perspective.

I love this idea. And I can help. If you PM me your email address I'll add you to my list and you will get a photo a day. There are people on my list going through all sorts of things and I hear from them that the photo helps to lift their spirits....it's why I do it.

Hugs and butterflies,
