I am a recovering addict. It is my addiction that led to my seperation. The addiction resulted in a slew of bad behavior, including a need to control, being volitile and critical. In working with my therapist, we have come the the realization that I am also extremely co-dependent and that my addiction is a result of that co-dependency. (I am a child of a severe alcoholic). Needless to say, I am so addicted to my W and this seperation has literally torn me apart. I have not resorted to my old addiction, because I have a new addiction in my W. While together I had emotionally detached and was consumed by my addiction. Now that I am recovering, how do I detach from my W (and deal with my codependency ) without detaching (more of the same behavior). How do I go and work on me, not worry about her or us, while still showing love, support and care. Any words of advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
