Shedding Light on us Codys
My AH got fired today. I am actually happy about this, he is of course blaming everyone else, but hey one day at a time. His entire "house of cards" is finally falling down and I am relieved that it is all coming to a head. I saw an addiction counselor with him today and it was EXTREMELY helpful for me.
The couselor was able to put things into words that I haven't been able to find the words for yet. He said that I am so hurt he can see it all over me. I stated that if there was a rehab for codependents, I would go and guess what-there is and I am going to go.
I am reading Codependent No More and wished that I had read it 15 years ago. As the slogans say you can only change yourself, so I say do it. Hope this tidbit helps someone out there.
Today was a much needed ray of light.

The place is called The Ranch, it is in Tennessee- you can Google codependent rehab and go from there. There seems to be a few places, The Ranch is what was recommended for me. The counselor also said that I have some deep emotional scars and I am going to work a 12 step program for that called The Jorney 12 Steps to Spiritual Healing.

I was left at home with all the "reality", I was pi$$ed.

Then I got letters from that $25,000 resort stay telling me that I didn't "get it". Well heck, how about spending $25K on me in 28 days, maybe I will!!!

I got bills for the $5-6000 that the insurance didn't pay, after her "sobriety" lasted 10 days. Felt good to laugh and throw those in the trash.
