Beloved of All
Hello, I’m going through one of the hardest situations I’ve had to experience in a long time. I live with a loved one who has alcohol dependency and is in denial about it. I have been going to therapy and my loved one has started therapy. My loved one’s therapist reached out to me to talk about my experiences with my loved one’s addiction to get a full picture of the situation. This created a situation where the therapist seemed to have mentioned things to my loved one that I had said to the therapist in confidence. It sounds like the therapist was trying to help by suggesting recovery programs and or rehab. I'm traveling now but I received a lot of text messages yesterday where I was insulted and on the receiving end of a lot of hurt remarks. I have to fly back home today and I don't know what to expect. My loved one is accusing me of lying to the therapist and a lot of other things that aren’t true. It’s hard for me because I care about this person and I don’t have another place to go at the moment. We also have an upcoming trip in a few days that was supposed to enjoyable but now, I’m concerned about it because of the tension that started yesterday. I don’t know what I can do. I ask for prayer so God can help me and my loved one with navigating this and that the bonds of alcohol addiction are broken soon. Thank you.
