What helped you ease the pain of breaking up with an alcoholic s.o.? How long did it take?

O, I can't add much to the great responses you've got here, but want to suggest that you try to do some good just in your immediate circle. Are you helping around the house, maybe making dinner, or cleaning? Reaching outside yourself to do things for others is great for you too.
I suggest this because when you do something positive, it begins a cycle of feedback that makes you feel better. Don't take your mother for granted, and try to detach from her and her BF's relationship. That's your mother's business. You might even try being pleasant to her BF, after all you are staying in their house.
This could make a difference to your outlook on life and give you back some power.

Alanon, because I learned to see the problem wasn't him, it was me. I picked him and stayed much longer than I should have. I took responsibility for my part, worked the steps and struggled with my own demons.
