    • About Me

      I am a divorced mother of two boys, ages 21, and 18. I am originally from Canada, and am presently in Michigan. I have a degree in nursing, and have spent most of my career in long term care. I have no problem communicating with my residents and even helping them solve their issues. Have a terrible time solving my own though, why is that? I am a loving and caring person, I just need some guidance.

      I am in a relationship of 2 yrs and it started out so very wonderful, and recently started going downhill as I am insecure and jealous. I am not gonna make excuses for my behavior but I will say that usually when one person changes the other changes and then finally the relationship changes. He is a recovering drug addict and doing very well with it. I am just confused as to how you can go from loving someone to not even knowing they are in the same room.

      Treatments

      Talking Not Working
      He gets defensive and usually turns things around, and even if I were ten miles away or someone else observes something, and confronts him, I am to blame.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      Reading and re reading my thoughts and goals keeps me focused on what I need to do for me, to better myself.
    • Close Families & Friends Of Addicts

      Hello, I am in a relationship with a man who is a recovering drug addict. He is involved in AA, and though he doesn't go to meetings as often as he used to, he still goes. I try very hard to be supportive. I just cannot relate to the dialogue that most users involved in AA use. I don't agree with all aspects of it although I am extremely happy that it has worked for him and many others. He says I am the reason he doesn't go to meetings as often as he should. I will not be blamed

      Treatments

      Patience Somewhat Helpful
      He loses patience with me. He gets very defensive when I try to talk with him about AA and related issues
      Talking Working / Worked
      same as above. Also he will turn things around and try to make me feel guilty
