This is so very true!
Were I still enmeshed in a sick relationship with an addict, I would not be where I am today. I graduated at age 53 with two degrees from a community college, and just started a temp job I am very excited about.
There was a time I was so codependent, I settled for less than I deserved. I couldn't define where I ended and he began.
I refuse to do that anymore.
My life is so full and rich sans the insanity of an addict that it's difficult to describe.
Don't sell yourself short, dear!
