Christopher, I appreciate your feedback and you make some valid points. And I have read a lot of books on Buddhism and agree with the principle that we need to detach ourselves. But what I’m trying to say here really is that emotional abuse is as real a thing as alcholism, as real a thing as any type of illness. Yes we need to be accountable for our recovery, but also we need to be given permission to recover. We need to have our illness recognized.
