Well thats something I have worked ALOT on, now internally there is still a battle going on like third world war...however externally ive practiced just listening and NOT reacting as I tend to be a very black and white person when it comes to me AW because im not used to hearing the truth on anything....

One of the weirdest and hardest things for me to do is just simply communicate to her or when im with her in a way where i dont feel im stumbling over my words, its almost a nervous habit because I have always been so used to trying to walk on eggshells.....

Strange as that may sound its just the way its always been, keep the family safe and isolate as much from the addict as possible...
