Hello Jamesb, thank you for taking the time to respond.
I completely get it’s an illness but it’s her lack of self accountability that I’m struggling with. She blames her relationships with our mother, the family and her ex husband as her reasons for using and is thus a victim of her circumstances.
Granted I was only with her for a short time but she expressed no guilt for her part and I find this strange. She’s completely splintered my family over the years with her lies and manipulations and doesn’t seem to care.
I really am trying to show compassion to her when she refuses to see her part.in my view, and I don’t know – this is not a healthy recovery.
