Hi. Just wanted to welcome you into the fold of recovering codies.
Even though your going through spurts and stalls of sadness...it's okay.
It's normal. Soberrecovery saved me when I first arrived. My adult son was
the addict in my life. Due to growing up in total dysfunction and alcoholism/addiction as a key player in family relationships, I married into it. I've been divorced from my ah for 18 years now.
Melodie Beattie is a wonderful woman, yes?
Another book that may interest you is "Better Boundries: Owning and
Treasuring Your Life" by Jan Black and Greg Enns.
Have recently finished it and wow!
I'm sorry that you've suffered sadness and heartache. With time and
recovery, I've a feeling that things will start looking much better for you and your children.
Keep coming back.
Sending prayers for strength and perseverance,
