My experience is that over time, going to Al-Anon meetings and taking responsibility for myself and taking responsibility for my behavior and letting other people have their own path, as opposed to controlling every move they make, which is my deepest desire, of course- is much more effective and makes me a better wife, a better friend, a better sibling, etc.
