It feels like I escaped the twilight zone. How these people act (the addicts) is truly on THEM and a shortcoming of something inside themselves. Who would brag about getting away with being a cheater? When I told my xA that I was leaving he told me that nobody would ever love me. I mean really, who says and does these kinds of things to PEOPLE.
SR, in whatever capacity it helps ppl (Lurkers, sharers, advisers) truly is a saving grace. It is one of the best, most caring, most brutally honest forums I have ever visited. Keep coming back and sharing if you can. There are lots of people who need help!
Yes, these forums were and are an immense help. When I started reading here, I learned about al-anon and how to detach. I learned that I was not alone. It literally saved my life. I will keep coming back and start sharing more. It would be nice to pay it forward, if I can.
