I read Michael Newton's books many years ago, and loved it, but I haven't read Dolores Cannon yet. I have contemplated pre-incarnative choice, and I do know that I chose this family. I'm just happy that I was able to "help" my sister-in-law out of a horrible marriage (my brother is also an alcoholic)... an that she has transformed into a whole new person.
There were many lessons for me individually and for us as a family, because me staying so close to my sister-in-law after the divorce, when the family basically turned their backs on her, also didn't go down too well, and caused the final rift between my brother and I. My mom (who is strongly positively polarised), just said "how can I take anyone's side above that of my own child?"...but a lot of water has run into the sea since then. Her eyes have finally opened to my brother's true character, because my sister-in-law kept things very much under wraps while they were married, even sending the kids to bed before he really got out of control. I was the only one who knew the true state of affairs for almost the entire duration of their marriage.
My mom, particularly, has had some very tough lessons through all of this (she always said my sister-in-law is her 5th child, and then she cut her off after the divorce, mostly because my brother is such a fine manipulator and liar).
Needless to say, I usually scoff when someone says "blood is thicker than water"...
