Some really helpful stuff here. So guess being apart from the newly recovered "bf" is a blessing in disguise or I'd be dealing a whole lotta crazy?
I don't even live with the guy and I go batty with the changes he had. I can't imagine living in a marriage with all the fluctuations.
And the part about realizing that protecting their feelings is sabotaging your own well being also really helps. Last night I had this thought: Aren't I worth better treatment than this? Why is it so hard to stick to knowing what I am worth both to him and myself?
I am so scared of 'upsetting the recovery!', or being 'too much' or 'demanding' just for expressing some things that I really really struggle with.
This is a good thread.
