We all got problems

Parker

My parents and I talked. I told them everything. Uncle Nixon said it would help if I wanted to get sober. To say it stunned them didn’t even describe their reaction.

/"I know you’re both disappointed in me,/" I said

Ma cut interrupted me, /"Parker, we’re not disappointed in you. We’re proud of you. It’s surprising, that’s all./"

/"The last thing we want is for our kids to become hurt or hurt themselves. I’m sorry it got this far,/" pops reasoned as I sat there.

/"So am I,/" I told them both. I didn’t tell my parents who I saw since we’re not to discuss who is in the meetings. I knew I would have to tell my brothers and Selena, but not right now. I needed to deal with it.

The next evening, I returned to the meeting. Uncle Nixon met me there for support. I sat in the circle as I listen to people talk. I didn’t feel like talking yet. I wasn’t ready.
