Morning Steve
Hate she didn't get to find her way to seek help yet - that is very sad - just as it is sad when all our A's keep walking away from the opportunities for help.
Although we may have been a little blunt, harsh or tough - I know I truly prayed that she would seek help and that both of you would be able to find recovery and help so that y'all could save your relationship
I'm a sucker for a "Happily Ever After" - lol
But what I have learned is that we can make our own "Happily as I wanna be" - That is what I had to do. Looks like that is the opportunity for you today and you are embracing it.
Keep working on those boundaries and your own self-care -
You are doing just fine - improving ONE DAY AT A TIME!!
PINK HUGS!
