Posted by rc on 8/24/2006, 11:42 pm, in reply to "Need help getting out" I can say from being on the other side (his side), that it hurt when my loved ones finally stopped helping me and told me to shape up or else I would end up without them. But, in the end, that helped more than anything. It forced me to face myself and my behavior for what it was--codependent. Fortunately for me, I was able to face that "dark side" of myself and seek help. And, now I still have all of my friends. He will have to face up to this part of himself, too, if he ever wants to get better. Best of luck to you, Shelley. I hope everything works out for the best.
Hi Shelley-- my only advice would be to make sure that you take care of yourself. I can't stress that enough. If your mate can't deal with that, then that's not your fault. He has to take responsibility for his own actions and his own life. It sounds like you've helped him--and are helping him--more than enough.
