Relationships after rehab
by Angelina
(Philadelphia)
I have been in and out of a 10 year relationship for the past year. my partner suffers from substance, alcohol and gambling addiction. there was also an issue of infidelity five years into the relationship. Which took me another five to recover and forgive him. relationship started rather abruptly but they were mutual feelings from the start not just attraction.
However my partner entered a rehab a month ago and he’s due to come back “home” although I have forgiven him and let go of the past altogether from my personal healing, I still love him. I have hope for his sobriety yet I am indecisive about our future together….. all I want is for us to be a family again however I don’t to be let down again.
In the meantime I am feeling completely indecisive if I want to travel on his road to sobriety along with myself and my children.

You always maintained your impartiality with us. You encouraged Rita to be more assertive in stating what she wanted to get from your counseling sessions, as well as what she wanted to get from the relationship. You taught both of us better communication between ourselves, which lead to an emotional comfort level between us that didn't exist before. You took control of the direction of the session if things were not moving along. Thanks so much for helping us." Rita and Mark |
