I agree with what everyone has said here. I am very green in my understanding of my AH and my co-dependency. When I feel like I want to scream or cry or run away, I come here and read that I'm not alone. That makes all the difference to me and is sometimes all I need to not loose it. I don't share the hurt in my situation because I don't want my friends and family to worry about me. This is a very safe place for me and I am utterly grateful.
