Pink wings you have absolutely done the right thing. I am in recovery and I think the hardest part was learning I can’t rescue other people from addiction. You have done everything you can and have been more than tolerant. I know the powerlessness is really hard to sit with. I think it’s a really good idea to get counselling. When I was in active addiction I didn’t really care about anyone but myself I was doing it to mask mental pain and I was very blinkered. When I was in rehab and my sister told me how traumatic it was to watch me did I realise how I had affected others. One of the founders of alcoholics anonymous Wife Lois Wilson started al anon up for family members as they realised the family needed to recover as well. I’m wondering if there is something like this you could attend. I know that smart recovery have friends and family meetings.
