I’ve been through it over and over again Kklost, I feel strongly about helping people, and letting them know they are not alone. Its hard for the addict, but its equally as hard for those around them, and some people don’t see that. Especially hard for people with no support network, or nobody they feel they can talk to. I know I have a couple of friends who know everything, warts and all. But I couldn’t face telling my parents, my father would have literally lost it, he’s in his 70’s and I’m still his little girl, if he had half a clue it would be the end of any relationship between my father and my husband. He already has a dim view of my husband because he sees things, but doesnt see the whole picture, he sees enough to know when its happening I’m not being treated with respect and that is enough for him. If he knew it all, well….
