I recently shut the door on someone who relapsed because I won't let myself be subjected to anyone who doesn't treat me with respect. This was a former business partner, friend and boyfriend who had been sober 18 years. Very quickly he turned into an abusive person with distorted thinking. He accused me of stealing $100,000 from our last company when he was responsible for finances and I didn't even have access to our funds. I quickly realized I was talking to a bottle and that all I can do is take care of myself.
