Stepper: “Well AA might be bad, but Al Anon is not AA.”
Enlightened One: “No, you’re right, Al Anon is even worse.”
Al Anon is a place for the family member (or anyone who ‘qualifies’) to go and find their ‘part’ in the other persons behavior. Excuse me? He was an abusive drunk and now somehow I bear responsibility for this!? My life is unmanageable because of his behavior and I must pray for knowledge of gods will for me?

Al Anon is a place to go to find bogus reasons to stay with an abusive monster who is feigning 'powerlessness' and claiming to have a 'disease.'
Al Anon is a place to go to turn you will over to god, rather than tell the abusive monster in your life to pack his bags.

Al Anon is a place to go to help yourself understand why this ogre did all the things he did, so that you can have peace and quiet as he trots off to 3 mind-control meetings a day, while you do all the work to support him…as he 13steps all the women in his ‘home group.’
Al Anon is a place to go to help you have peace of mind while he is throwing things all over the house in a drunken rage because he can’t find his keys…which are in his hand. Oh, and his DUI is somehow something you could have prevented. Shut the front door!
Al Anon is a place where you too can work the 12 steps so that you too can give your hard earned money to AA and you too can leave your brain at the door. The cult that never gives up taking.
Al Anon is a place where you can be restored to sanity…when you are completely sane, or you were before you started buying all these lies.
Al Anon is a place you can go where you can confess all your contrived wrongdoings to a stranger who is going to tell everyone exactly how bad your life is…to make themselves feel better about their horrible up life. (Nice anonymity).
Al Anon is a place you can go to not have to view your ‘qualifiers’ constant attempts to sleep with other women. Can’t block the 13th step.
And finally, Al Anon is a place where you too can mind-control some vulnerable person into staying in a relationship in which they should be protecting themselves from.
Phew, that was fun and cathartic. I would no more set foot in an Al Anon meeting than I would stay one second in an abusive relationship.
Thank you for letting me share.
