> I'm not sure if someone in the grip of an addiction can think in such logical terms. The addiction changes the way the brain processes information. It has nothing to do with how much he loves you. And you can't be good enough or loving enough to change the way his brain is working. I'm not sure someone in the grip of an addiction can even *see* other people or other situations in the way others do.

I think I see what you're saying. This is like "brain twisting" for me-- a different way to think..... I'm not responsible all the time? I don't have to make sure everyone is content? I can let go of some things?? yikes... that seems like I'm walking into the dark-- the unknown.... yikes....
thank you for your reply-- I've got some things to think about for sure.
