New here, and as the name states, overwhelmed! in a relationship with my A for 4 years now. I guess as it stands I cant take any more. I've had it all: theft from me and my family, a refusal on his part to find work, complaints i don't trust him (ha) in and out of detox, rehab and courts. verbal abuse. blame for ALL his issues. I was happier on my own, but i don't want this to ruin my faith in people, and thats why I'm here

I am glad you are here, MIP, face to face al-anon meetings, finding my sponsor in those meetings and working the steps changed my life in my first year so much that I no longer recognize myself. Dive on into taking good care of yourself! Sending you love and support on your journey!

Welcome to MIP. Yes sometimes we get so mixed up in living in our own lives, we forget that there is a better way. You are right, it is not healthy and we do get to where we have had enough. We want people in our lives who are not toxic.

It's very freeing to move on to a life of no chao's that never ends. He is the only person who can change himself. But us babying them, giving them a place to live, not turning them in when they steal from us is not doing them any good. Just  like all of us, he has to answer for his behavior.

There are some wonderful people out there. More than we realize. MIP is full of them. We too have experienced and are experiencing the situations you are living in.

Keep coming and sharing. Read and ask questions! Glad you found us!

Hi overwhelmed and welcome to MIP. I have been in Al-anon for almost six months, and I no longer recognize myself. Please find an Al-anon group and attend face to face meetings. Sadly, alcoholism is a progressive and destructive disease that affects not only the alcoholic but also family and friends of the alcoholic. Al-anon will help you learn how to focus on you and your health and well-being.

Glad you found us. Please keep coming back!
