I've only recently realized just how destructive my behavior has been, for me and for my partner. I've been looking for someone to say the things that I'm feeling and frightened to say, and your blog's convinced me that maybe Al-Anon is the place for that. <br />It was an additional strange comfort to see your photos - I grew up on the Eastern Shore of MD, and seeing the marshes of home is comforting and familiar.

I blame all my problems on my step-father and believe me- there was enough blame to be given. <br />But. <br />It all started before he entered the picture.

I didn't know serenity.
