Absolutely. For sure. I’ve seen it once in my life. The alcoholic got help, It was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever grown through with someone. It was then I learned as much as it’s an area of effect disease, it has an area of affect of growth with the person in recovery. And I learned a great deal of compassion for what they learned about themselves and their struggle - In their case they were self medicating because in their youth ADHD and dyslexia was not treated.
I mean ngl, it would have been great to not have their abusive alcoholism imposed on me in the first place as a child.
But I can’t hang onto resentment about that, cuz I can’t undo the past, I can’t undo what they did and they came through in the end anyways. I’m capable of forgiving and compassion that they are just another human with struggles getting frustrated about being abandoned.
