Whose house is it? Kenny's? Or yours and Kenny's? Frank sounds like a real piece of work and I wouldn't let him row down Johnson Creek past my yard let alone into my house. But that's me.

I'm sorry you weren't able to find a good Al-Anon meeting. The whiners and blamers are there because they need to learn how not to be whiners and blamers, and Al-Anon's a great place to do that. It's kinda like a good place to find drunks is AA. I haven't been to it in quite a while but the Monday night meeting at St. Paul's Lutheran on SE 39th at Brooklyn was very, very helpful to me. It's still going at 7:30 pm.

If you can't go, you can't go, but if you've got a lot of family in recovery, talk to them about it. I'm sure they could give you some insight on what to do to take care of yourself and your family. Above all keep the focus on yourself.
