Side note: My mom is also in recovery so she also gave me hope because she is doing so well. She is also biased because she knows what it is like and would say "you can't keep breaking up, you need to detach", "He loves you so much. That's so hard to find". ..she never fell in love. She had good intentions but she probably kept me in the relationship longer than I would have liked because she was so hopeful and thought no one would love me like he does, and that terrified me.
