Thanks for this post.
I am really struggling right now with many of my relationships.
Because they are mean people...No!
Because I feel alone in my family and circle of friends sometimes as the one to break the cycle. I have many A in my circle and many co-dependents, we all do are thing very well.
I am starting to come out of it and feel good about that, what is hard though is remembering that my change can be stressful for others and their response to it can reflect that.
Congrats on your family situation and thanks for the reminder that it is a family illness.
