(((13))) - Thanks to the consequences of my addiction, I had to move back home (I'm 50!!). My mom is an A, my dad is enabler. Though I'm not as bad as I was (thanks to here), there are days it makes me crazy.
I learned about boundaries, I have backup plans on where to go when things get too bad, and I practically LIVE on SR when I'm not working or doing school work.
One of my boundaries I I'm not going to walk around on eggshells because of how someone else acts. I usually just get out of the house for a while, do a little car-dancing to feel-good music, and come back. I practically live in my small room.
It took me sooo long to get to this point, to accept that I can love someone, and at the same time, REALLY not like them.
This stuff takes time to absorb. Many people have been dependent on their A's, yet have found a way to get out when they were ready.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy
