LIFECOACH
2710 Thanks

Life with an addict you love.

The addict is strong, she has been feeding the addict. The addict is in control...

Just when I think I know everything, I find out I know nothing. When we feel we have stepped foward, we jump 3 steps back. When I finally think I know the truth it's all a lie. I can't think of the last night I slept without my wallet. Every morning I wake up and for a split second I am at peace until I remember the turmoil that is our life. Everytime the phone rings a knot forms in my stomach. Everytime I come home if her car is there I feel dread and if it is not I feel the same way. "Maybe this time she'll get it"  is a phrase I have thought too many times. Loving a child and at the same time hating the person she has become and knowing she may never come back to the person she should be is hard to accept. My biggest joy lately is another day she is breathing and her heart is beating, nobody understands, unless you walk in my shoes. Wondering why friends have drifted away like the addiction in your family is catching to them. When every conversation in the family seems to revolve around the addict in your life. Sometime's lonely, dramatic, heartbreaking. One day at a time.That is my life.....Maybe this time she'll get it.....
