Last night I went to an Al Anon meeting. It's on my GAL list. I think it was so meant to be because the topic was DETACHMENT and boy do I need to detach! I realized I can continue to love him without having to wrap myself up in his continuing problem. I see him now as an addict, constantly needing a fix (emotional attachment). I realize now he was looking for a codependent relationship just like the one he has with his mother. I will never be his mother nor will I partake in his world as his codependent partner. I'm also thinking this may or may not work out between us because he continues to need that dysfunctional emotional attachment. I guess I get points today for coming to this realization. I just hope I continue to remember this! It's definitely something I need to ingrain in my head!
