Dude, I could of written what you wrote.

It amazes me how some distance can provide some clarity.

Great job on recognizing this stuff, Ty.

You can NEVER fix another person. If they are battling their own demons, there is NOTHING you can do about it.

Yes, you can support them. You can listen, but you can't fix them.

I'm coming to that realization as well. My WAW is a alcoholic, she's sober (I think), but she has issues. I can't fix that. And I can't make her love me.

Keep working through this stuff, Ty. You are growing.
