OK, here's one for the books. About 10 years ago, a friend of mine invited me to her third wedding--this one to a nice man who was a serious alcoholic. Knowing that this marriage would be doomed from the start since it's impossible to have a healthy relationship with an active addict, I asked her if she knew what she was getting into.
Her response: "You should talk, Richard (my ABF) is an alcoholic, too." My answer: "What are you talking about? Richard doesn't have a problem."
So who's crazier? An active addict who can't see or face reality or a sober co-dependent who can't face it, either?
