Thanks once again for all your re-assuring words
I am essentially mourning the loss of a dream but on top of that it’s like mourning the loss of my ex to his addiction. It’s such a horrible double whammy. Honeypig those articles were really insightful, thank you!
I guess I do just need to be careful with who I share my feelings with and I am planning on seeing a counsellor to help unravel all the damage caused by this relationship.
