I'm grateful to Isabella for asking these pertinent questions. And yes, some relationships fall away. But not all relationships end because a person finds her recovery path do so gracefully. Some relationships end with bewilderment, pain and/or punishing accusations. This creates more challenge for the person in recovery. She (or he) learns to respect and honor her authentic self despite pressure to return to old unhealthy ways. Recovery work has many unexpected challenges. Best regards, Joanna Dear Andrew,
