I have had 3 different experiences. I had to let one relationship go completely because I wasn't safe. He turned out to be an addict.
I had another relationship with an alcoholic and was able to detach. We were friends for 15 years until he died. He never stopped drinking.
Both of those relationships were before I knew anything about addiction.
It was my son who brought me here. I have a much harder time with my son.
I wish I could let go more and find peace, but I haven't been able to do that emotionally.
I can make the decisions that are hard to make, but not without a lot of pain and fear.
I do cope really well though, but I would like to have more than just being able to cope well.
I wish I could find peace and let go of what I still think is some form of control.
It is really hard to do when his death is always a possiblility.
