I have attended meeting for many years They are very helpful to detach and let go a lot of friendship there and support
You set some good firm boundaries and you are right we can't FIX them .. the solution is there,,they can see it ,but many don't want to get sober and clean they will get clean when they hit their bottom
It is impossible to have a relationship with an active addict It is better to understand the disease so you can protect yourself and teach your kids Like your situation, my XH was also sober for many years..I believe her relapsed when he hit MLC or who knows what came first
