[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 723958, member: 13542"] christianmom, a very dear friend of mine is an alcoholic who is clean and sober and attends AA. He has mentioned a number of times how often he hears in meetings that once an alcoholic/substance abuser gets clean, now he/she will need to deal with their codependency issues. A good book you and your son can read is [U]Codependent no more [/U]by Melodie Beattie. CoDa, is Codependents anonymous, a 12 step group for codependents, your son may find value in those groups as well. Your son may benefit from therapy, to bring to light why he stays in a dysfunctional relationship.....good resources for therapy are, the Psychology today website and goodtherapy.org. Another resource is a website called, Out of the Fog.....your son may find guidance and support there as well. It's tough to watch our kids struggle in negative relationships where they are hurt. I'm sorry you have to be on the sidelines of this. Ultimately it is your son's choice, but perhaps a few pointers will guide him to place where he can make healthier choices in relationships.
