I am sorry but I am really triggered that she has become the scapegoat. I am the wife of an addict and has blamed before. Sadly, I believed it. There will always be an excuse, if someone doesn't really commit to being clean and sober.
I would appreciate you actually reading my post. I did not blame my GF. She was not scapegoated in any way either. I think it may be constructive for you to consider the possibility that you are projecting your own issues onto the general subject, while ignoring the actual sequence and context of events. I welcome all input, advice etc, yet feel your post on this thread added context based on you personal experiences and would give the wrong impression to someone just reading your post.
