My whole family is very important to me, they are all i really no. althought they are important to me they are also very unhealty for my recovery.i am currently living in transitional living. my time here is almost up.Going into rehab was very hard for my 4 year old daughter she was there with me,but she had seperation anxity from my family and lost a lot of weight. that really hurt because i put her in this situation.I have been so co dependent with my family,because thats all i no. my mom still is, her mom is and so on. not to mention they are addicts as well.Ok my time is almost up, and i have a choice to move into my own apartment, but im afraid that because my family is so unstable they are going to wont to move in.The other choice is to find another transitional living facility,away from my family, so that i can learn not to reli on them so much, and get some mor sobrity under my belt.As i said earlier,my daughter got really sick when we left and we wasnt even 15mins down the road form them.the only time she could see them was on the weekends.as scared as i am ,i wont to move as far from them as i can, but im more scared for my daughter. all type of thoughs run through my head. Is she going to get sick again? why do i keep putting her in these situations? how long will it take her to ajust?I love her so much and she dont deserve the confusion that ive brought upon her young life. But i wont her to have a good healthy,loving life from this point on.
Its hard for me to admite that sometimes the hardest decision to make, is usually the best thing for you. Ive had many obstacles and barrials in my life, and as scared as i am at this very moment. i have to make the most important decision of my life. My stomach is in knots,my heart is racing,and tears are flowing.What should i do?
Hi: While no one can make this decision for you, you might want to consider this: your daughter needs her dad clean and sober. If you relapse, she loses her dad and any sense of security. What ever you decide, think about what is most likely to keep you on your path to recovery.
Remember, your daughter has lived through your addiction. She is a Child of an Alcoholic; as such, she will have the same co-dependent issues as you: fear, depression, unexplained anger, insecurity, anxiety, phobias, etc.
All the best,
Sheila
