"growth will occur"
doesn't always mean that people grow in the same direction -
you may grow in your recovery and your partner may grow in his addiction
In some cases:
We set boundaries, they don't not honor those boundaries, we step out of the picture, out of their lives, they choose to continue on that downward spiral -
We grow in healthy behaviors - they grow in unhealthy behaviors
Just something I learned thru my own experiences . . .
Wishing you Joy, Peace and Guidance - You Deserve it!
