Hi, I am a recovering co-dependent and have been effected by my XAH's drinking. I was devasted when he betrayed me in various ways, a few years ago and it hit my self esteem hard. I've been crawling out of that mess for the last few years by working on me. It has been almost a full time job!
I was in a 20 year relationship with him and that was my addiction. It has been tough to break away and I am now to as much no contact as possible with 2 children.
I now realize there is more to him than just alcoholism and by that I mean he has a personality disorder as well. I needed a lot of therapy to help me save myself and my kids.
The good news is I am feeling stronger every day as I work my own recovery. I am sorry for your suffering, and you have found a great place here.
