I know:
1.) I am not to blame,
2.) I did not cause my sister's addiction,
3.) I did not cause my parents' reactions and enabling behavior,
and
4.) that I deserve to be treated with respect, and respect others in the ways they choose to live their lives,
but today, I just feel a bit sad. I'm trying to keep my chin up and know that I'm doing the best thing for me right now. Change is difficult, but I think I'm getting there.

It's okay to be sad! I know I went through the same thing when I started making healthy choices for myself.
There are days I still feel twinges of sadness because the rest of my family chooses not to seek recovery, whether it be from alcoholism, codependency, or both.
You are doing the right thing. Allow yourself to feel the sadness and walk through it.
I promise that will lessen as time goes on! :ghug3
