I, Beth, felt so validated when I read the book Prodepence: Moving Beyond Codepedency. I wasn't co-dependent. I was doing my best to love the addict I was married to and hold my family together in spite of the bad advice I had been given. I breathed a sigh of relief. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is caring for a loved one in the throes of addiction whether it is sexual addiction or something else.
