The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I went to a lecture on alcoholism and wrote down all the symptoms of living with an alcoholic or sick person.
anxiety depression adapt to the abnormal no boundaries you're not good enough damage to self-esteem damage to self-confidence guilt anger frustration of not having needs met broken trust miscommunication
It is only natural that someone suffers with these after living with addiction or sick people.
I think the issue for me I was codependent before I met the A. Living with him made me much worse but now I am not living with him my issues are far from over.
Those lectures are very informative and I remember going to some myself that increased my awareness. Increased awareness is a must. Additionally that list that you wrote down is also some of the very same things that the alcoholic suffers from as a result of the disease. This disease has no favorites!!
