My overall impression of the Beginnings Care Program in regards to codependency and addiction is both informative and supportive! Giving me the opportunity to learn, grow and heal rather than continue with all the negative coping. It has also benefited my recovery by helping me to ‘detach’ and be healthier while doing so.
I am a MEM of 33 that has found my mother to be so cruel at any thought of my independence I cannot function normally in my life and still have contact with her. With therapy I recognize her happiness is not my responsibility and can cut off contact. I am wondering if this action will be detrimental to the healing I have worked so hard to achieve.
In my experience, cutting off contact is sometimes necessary, in extreme cases, particularly where cruelty and abuse are present. However, before action is taken, speak with your counselor and project out your plan (into the future) to ensure you are comfortable with your decision.
