Thanks everyone, your posts are insightful and supportive. I appreciate it, truly.
I looked into the Al-anon programs and so on, I think I may pick that up when I head back up to school in the next few weeks. That seems like something that would be beneficial and helpful. Thank you for bringing that up, I didn't know such a thing existed for those impacted by the actions that didn't participate themselves.
As for the book suggestions, thank you for those too, I'll look them up!
I'll remember to try and not let this get the best of me, even when it gets overwhelming. Thank you again for all your kind words!
