It’s been a little over a year since my surgery and I’m just blown away by the changes in my life. My oldest daughter has been diagnosed with ADHD and sensory disorder and somehow this is a huge relief. I’m not going to medicate her or take her spark away. I’m just glad that others see her as more than a naughty girl who won’t make eye contact and has difficulty sitting still. It’s a blessing. My husband is in AA (praise the Lord!) and tonight I went to my first al-anon meeting. Such a wave of relief to know that this is what I’ve needed for my entire life. To know that it’s okay to love my father and my husband even though they’re alcoholics. So, step by agonizing step I’m going to accept my life for what it is and love with all that I am.
