Hi, My name is Jen D. I am a mother of four great children - Sebastian, Ethan, Akira, and McKenzie - and married to a wonderful man, Jay. I currently live in the middle of nowhere in North Dakota, USA and am attending AI Pitts Online for my Hotel and Restaurant Management BA.
I wanted to have a place to give myself a place to reach out in times of harsh relationships between myself and others. I have had other online journals but this is going to be where I can ask a question and hope that I can help others answer those questions themselves. I may not be very good at first and I do hope for others to give me their advice and even ask my advice.
I started attending online meetings for Nar-Anon for Families because I have been struggling daily with my husband who is a recovering addict. In the 10+ years we have been together, we've gone through the birth of four children, several hospital visits, a few rehab-ish places, and the constant worries of being in a relationship with an addict. I want to be able to go through the steps of the program to gain more control over my own actions and then help others through my own experience.
I have gone through my phase of doing drugs, drinking and being reckless. I have gone through loss and bad days where I wish I was dead, even attempted. I can even say that there are times I will regret forever. I can only hope that in the coming days I can remember to live each day as it comes - I cannot be upset if I forget something little - I cannot try to fix things that aren't broken yet - I will not be able to change in a day and won't attempt to, not in ONE day.
