My parents weren't addicts or alcoholics, but I grew up with such low self esteem that I was willing to jump into a toxic relationship just because he said everything I wanted to hear. Then I think I hung on for so long because I felt a sense of worth just by kidding myself that I was keeping him from going over the edge. Now I realize I had no control over anything he did, and that he had all the control over me!
But it's amazing to be able to discover who I really am, now that I can be myself and not who I needed to be to survive with him....
