Weather apocalypse predictions, who will get elected, who is suing whom, government shutdowns, who was promoted ahead of you at the office etc....we all have stuff to deal with but those of us that have a loved one battling their drug and alcohol challenges are literally in a fight for our lives. I separate a little fact from disinformation and how you may put some armor on to get through the day. I do not think I state it on this particular episode BUT get into a parent/sibling/friend support group with like minded people if at all possible. We have had great direction, companionship and friendship from a few we attend and that is the ultimate self care! As we learned YOU ARE NOT ALONE....
