Hi, Stacey
I’m new to this, so I hope you don’t mind me interjecting. I understand how that roller coaster is. How your CG is truly a sweet wonderful person, fun, sensitive, intelligent. You hold them when they cry. You laugh with them. But the addiction has a hold so tight that it’s nearly impossible to predict what you will get day to day. You forget the bad times so easily, right? I know – I get that sort of amnesia myself! 😉
All I can offer is that you are not alone. Also, I am trying to work on myself right now. That’s all I can do. Listen, love, and support. But you are doing the right thing by protecting yourself. For your sake, monitor this abuse so it doesn’t move into physical (although emotional, financial, and psychological abuse is legitimate as well). I will be sending positive thoughts your way! Believe me, I’m working through my situation and trying to be mindful. Peace to you!
