So today my thought of the day is who really is where they want to be. We all have constrictions that keep up at certain places in our lives. These constrictions can be ANYTHING from being available to help someone in our family who needs it to being affraid to make a change in our life simply out of the fear OF change. Its really very Jane Austen like I think. We all dream of ourselves being so much more than we are but yet we have duties and responsiblilites that we simply must take care of.
I hope that this is the first of many posts that I plan to write, I am somewhat of an amature Sociologist who simply views people and situations differently I think than many others around me do. I like to help people with their problems and I think that having this writing space will actually help me also.
Have a nice day!

well… the words describing your brother’s death were about as accurate as I can remember… Greenwich Woods… I know it too well. First time I went there with a family member, it was with my Mother. Months of DT’s, accusations, and deny alls. When my mom was there — my dad was sent to another rehab location. Mom stopped drinking for a while, but she soon replaced the alcohol with pills. My dad never really did stop drinking. His face never looked the same to me.
I watched them both fall apart physically, emotionally and spiritually. It was sick. Growing up in a house of alcoholics the memories are not nice. I know this sounds very Narcissistic, but I guess I had to learn to defend myself.
Needless to say… I’ve seen the signs of alcohol on TOO many friends and Family. I can’t tell you how sorry I am at your loss.
I hope you can find peace after all you’ve been through. ~~ N
