What goes on at alanon and al-ateen meetings?

Question

Okay, so I'm 15, and pretty recently (2 and a half years ago) I was removed from my alcoholic mom's home and placed with my father. I always thought that once I was out, my problems would be over, and I try to deny that this ever happened to me. So for almost 3 years, I've been a shell and I don't tell anyone anything about that because I'm so ashamed. Anyways, today all those horrible memories came rushing back and I've been crying all day. I now admit that I am traumatized and I need help on how to get over this and make peace with my mother and my past. No one has ever understood what I've been through, but I feel like other people who have experienced what I have can help. What goes on at this meetings? Thanks so much for your help!

Anika, well if you want to find people who know exactly what you have experience and felt you will be at home at an Al-anon or Al-teen meeting. They know exactly what you have been through, because they have been there. They know about the secrets and the trauma associated living in an alcoholic home. They will also respect your privacy or anonymity. What you say there says there. If you work the program, you will attain an inner peace called serenity.
