I hear your pain and understand. My father, brother, stepfather died as a direct result of alcoholism. My son is an addict. he's in prison and I'm at peace. At one time I was so miserable and depressed I thought I and my entire family were cursed and life was never ending pain and loss.
You are not alone. I'm glad you found us. This is a safe place. We offer support and understanding. We care and share and do not judge. There are many Moms here who've experienced the same gut wrenching pain you feel. And they've found relief
from the pain and renewed hope for their own lives whether or not the addict finds recovery. Welcome to SR.
I open my arms to you. Sending a big warm hug.
No, you are not wrong for wanting to move away, wanting to be free, wanting to take care of just you and you deserve peace and freedom.
As codependents, taking care of ourselves is our focus in recovery.
