Open Codependency
My Father was both a physically and emotionally abusive drunk. . He also had another family whom he was getting letters from while living with us. The worse and best day was when he finally left for good. The worse being he beat up my Mom rather bad and stole her money. The best was I called the police who came right away to escort him out for the last time. I married a alcoholic too. He wasn't as bad as my Father but he put me and the kids through hell.
