Power Struggle

The hardest part of living the life with an addict is the constant battle between wanting to feel and trying not to. By allowing my husband to make me feel sorry for him and have hope and put my faith and trust in him takes away the power I have to live a complete life. I always tried to control everything. The hardest part was allowing myself to let go, control the things I can and let him suffer the choices he made. After I finally learned to do that I was a lot less tired, less stressed, happier. Unfortunately, my in-laws are just now trying to grasp this concept. (Finish this thought later, munchkin needs love)
