So I just met with IC.

She really helped me understand a lot about myself and why I'm having such a hard time detaching.

I still carry a lot of emotional baggage from my childhood. This created a strong need to feel in control. No wonder I'm struggling so much with this, I have no idea what's going on with WAW.

Next week, I'm meeting with a MC who also specializes in addictions. He feels confident we can work on some of my codependency issues. I'm hopeful this isn't a lifelong process, but it is what it is.

Still NC with WAW. It's been over 2 weeks now. I still miss my best friend like crazy but realize she has some work to do on her issues.
