1(800) 615-1067Forgiving a loved one struggling with addiction can be a difficult and complex process. It’s normal to feel a range of emotions such as anger, hurt, betrayal, and disappointment. However, holding onto these negative feelings can be detrimental to your own mental and emotional well-being.
It’s important to remember that addiction is a disease that affects not only the individual struggling with it but also their loved ones. Seeking support from a therapist or a support group, such as Al-Anon, can help you work through your emotions and learn healthy coping strategies.
While forgiving your husband does not mean forgetting or condoning his actions, it can be a powerful step towards healing and moving forward. It may take time, and you may need to set boundaries and expectations, but with commitment and effort, it is possible to repair your relationship.
Ultimately, the decision to forgive your husband is a personal one and should be based on what feels right for you and your situation.
