Addiction

Part two: A little past the witching hour, but I made it. As I was saying, there are two major obstacles in a marriage or relationship that are difficult if not impossible to surpass. Would anyone care to guess the other? You guessed it drug dependency, alcohol dependency and other dependencies. If you have been with a drug or alcohol dependant person in your life, you know the chaos it causes. No one begins to understand what you are going through and what others see is only touching the surface of the problem. When I mention other dependencies I am talking about addictions such as internet porn, sexting, gambling, partner abuse or any other deviant dependency in your partner. It is very difficult to let go of these loved ones because you don't know if they can make it on their own. Believe you me, self-preservation is their main objective. They are like leeches that stick to you and begin to suck the life out of you. These addictions mentioned above need intervention and will not go away on their own. Be realistic with yourself and make a choice. Sometimes the choice is not only for yourself but for your children as well. Remember that what your children see at home growing up will be what they see as normal when they are adults. You are not alone. Many other women and MEN are experiencing the same pain. At minimum, seek help for yourself so that you can help identify what you are suffering and to help identify what you should do. Love yourself enough to get some help.
