Dear HBerry43... thank you for your post and sharing your experience. What a difficult time for you. I grew up with an alcoholic dad - but we were 'lucky' in the way that Dad was always around - but only dealing with these issues at the age of 38! In a way H gave me one gift - he forced me to seek help for myself and so now tackling all my co-dependency issues. It must be so difficult raising a young family whilst dealing with an alcoholic husband. My heart goes out to you. I will send you a longer reply in the morning. All the best to you, lara |
Great post HBerry43! And, boy, do they avoid discomfort ... at all costs except when it comes to their "mistress" - their DOC or addiction. |

Because we try to come between them and their addiction. Because we are buzz kills. Because casual aquaintances have no expectations. Etc. Etc. Etc. |
