I struggle with co-dependency. I struggle with the fact that he is still drinking. I struggle with the fact that losing his wife and kids wasn't rock bottom for him. And as much as there is nothing I can do about the latter, it still hurts.
Be encouraged that you put being a new college graduate and independent before your struggles. The struggles will be there, we all struggle with different things and as long as you know what you can (and cannot) control, that is a big help in struggling less.
