Hey- at least you went to counseling!! LOL- I'm not even willing to do that with my AH at this point. I think it was great that you were very honest in your session. Of course it was not what he wanted to hear. He and only he can take the responsibility for his recovery. He knows that it's all up to him now- "mommy's" not there to bail him out anymore. It ain't gonna be so easy.
My AH and I have the mother/son thing kicking over here too. I think most A/codie relationship are naturally like this b/c of our "caregiver" tendencies. Well, I'm glad things went the way they did b/c you are right- you'll have a better life without him through your own recovery and/or else he'll wake up and stand on his own for once. It's a win/win situation.
