Good to have you back. The family drama sounds intense. I'm proud of you and dh working things out. The alcohol is the others family members issue and they will have to resolve over time.

It's hard to accept change, but you are on a good path. I hope you and your mom can resolve your difference down the line. Seeing someone is a great idea.

You didn't mention your health, so I hope it stays on track. Keeping you in my thoughts.
