Found out a couple of days ago my boss relapsed and had an affair. While this has been really hard for me God is giving me strength to get through. Had I not just read a book on co-dependency I think I would rush into trying to "save her" mode. I have not. Insted I have been holding her accountable to her own behaviour. Which she does not like. It is difficult to watch someone you used to admire going through all of this. But it is also amazing how much healthier I am able to remain as I I detaching myself from the situation.
Hey FFF - love that you are able to stay out of the storm! Learning to detach in recovery is a great gift....one of many that we get when we work it! Keep doing what you're doing - you are wearing it well!
