To love the person...

[SPKrazy]

but not their disease/problem, etc.

is what I'm struggling with...

I love someone dearly, but at times when they are very intoxicated I feel I am treated differently, and end up feeling hurt and angry.

I have been working on loving them, and not their disease. However, I am not sure that I am able to not feel the anger from their disease that is aimed elsewhere, but I get the blow by, or the actual brunt of the explosion.

Tonight, I am feeling sad.

This is where I am in terms of dealing with a very dear friend that I love.

I want them in my life, I want them to be with me. I don't want their disease there because it will win everytime.

So, it may be that it is not possible to be with them as long as the addiction is active.

thanks
