Again, the longer you are away from it, changing your focus to yourself and your own interests and your own family and friends, the better you will feel. I know, it still hurts, a lot, time will help with that, which is not easy but can be done and is the best thing for you don't you think? This! I copied and pasted the above quote because I can't figure out how to post just the portion you want to copy. 🤔 Anyway, this is the honest truth. It is hard to see the forest through the trees when we are so focused on the addict. When we take the time to put the focus back where it belongs..on ourselves it is life changing! It is torture to be obsessed with someone who is self centered and not batting an eye about anything we do or say. But actually that is what we need to be doing! The addict somehow gets that part while the co-dependent struggles with letting go. I wish you peace and clarity in the days ahead.
