Seeking opinions

Karen, in fairness to him he has been trying to make changes over the last few months. I talked to him tonight..he’s been visiting his parents, who in a nutshell are very weird people. At first he was very stilted on the phone, but then he broke down and seemed to be speaking from his heart. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I do believe he is trying, but when he slips back into certain modes I’m not yet at the point of being able to detach from that, and I just react instead. I’m still way too wrapped up in his every nuance, and I know that’s not healthy and isn’t doing me any good at all. But then again it’s only been four months since I found out, so hopefully in time I’ll get a better grasp on how not to be so enmeshed in him. I know that for one thing I need to stop isolating myself the way I’ve been doing, to touch bases with normal life again. And to follow what I wrote in my journal a while back, ‘The world does not revolve around his addiction.’

Thank you again, everybody. xoxo
