Even though I am a non-A who is in recovery for Codependency & ACoA issues, *I* don't want to talk to someone about my recovery if they haven't walked in my shoes. Sometimes I just don't want to talk about it at all because I just need a mental break when I'm at home with my family.
Having said that, I also agree with Lexie that none of that negates him managing his responsibilities in the household & being accountable as a member of the family.
