I'm not a mental health professional. I'm not a doctor. My house is not a rehab and I don't hold AA or NA meetings in my living room. I'm just a woman doing her best to have a normal life and take care of my responsibilities and my family. I have limitations of my own. Limitations that make life more difficult on a daily basis. And I'm always having to compensate for those limitations. If only you knew.

Then someone moves in here and is not accountable, not responsible for HIS limitations, or HIS growth, or HIS Recovery, and that affected me severely. I became a prisoner in my own home, unable to speak up for myself. Constantly running around trying to help him and neglecting myself. Unable to get my own needs met. Not to mention my relationship needs.
