PART 18 - The WSO Cover-up
I couldn't believe that the Executive Director actually wrote an e-mail like that!
I mean, did he really think that I was that stupid?
Both the Regional Trustee and GSO said that the Associate Director - International had sent a letter about my attendance at the Regional Service Seminar with a suggestion that the Regional Trustee meet with me to discuss my attendance. When I spoke with the Associate Director - International she denied all knowledge and insisted vehemently that she had never sent any such letter. Obviously I had been lied to by someone.
So what does the Executive Director do? Instead of confirming that no letter had been sent he then concocts some ridiculous story that a memo had been sent instead. Obviously if the Associate Director had really sent a memo she would have referred to that on the phone. Why did she become so annoyed and deny sending a letter, if she had sent a memo?
I realised that expecting any kind of reasonable, rational behaviour from Al-Anon was futile. They couldn't even admit to being wrong or having told lies. Instead they cover-up lies with more lies, and so it goes on.
I once heard an AA member describe Al-Anon members as a law unto themselves and I realise how true that description was. If you are a law unto yourself, you can forget about adhering to Traditions or upholding any kind of fairness or justice.
My relationship with WSO, unfortunately like the Al-Anon groups, just went from bad to worse...
