Welcome to the SR family!
We're glad you are here. Make yourself at home - read and post as much as needed.
Have you read any of Melody Beattie's books on Codependency? You may be addicted to his dramatic life. You've always been anticipating the next episode and lived your life with him trying to manage the chaos. Walking around on eggshells, right? That will cause you to feel abandoned and empty when the alcoholic leaves the scene. You (we) became attached to the drama. We had front row, season tickets to the drama. When the curtain comes down on the drama, we are left wondering what we will do with ourselves.
We will learn to love ourselves and appreciate ourselves for who we are! How? Through Alanon, self-help books, counseling and SR.
Welcome!
