I'm resurrecting an episode that had gotten lost in the archives. Family relationships are hard! We enter recovery thinking that they will get better - that everything will get better!  We don't always realize that things don't get better right away.  We have to work through so much of the patterns and cycles that we've been in for a long time!  Many people ask me how I can still have a relationship with my family when things are so dysfunctional?? Here is my answer!
