I too was asked to reveal my boundaries and the ways in which his addiction had negatively affected my life to my XAH while he was in rehab. (his counselor mediated) I admit, I was nervous too.

It was the first time in 10 years that I realized that I had choices, and a voice.
It was the moment that I realized I had rights to my own life without feeling guilty or making apologies for protecting myself. I had permission, and it felt great!

That moment was life changing for me.

It is a very liberating feeling.
Hang onto it, you deserve it.

Thank you for sharing that.
