Sister and Addictions Foundation of Manitoba

Addictions Foundation of Manitoba: Dear Broken: Use your deep love for your ex-boyfriend to let him go to safety and to give you the strength to get the help you need, independent of his being in your life. Think about it this way: if you had taken all you could take from a man who was abusing you, you would need him to get away and leave you alone. , according to Winnipeg Free Press. If you don't want your sister help, at least call the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba at 204-944-6200. Don't push your sister away. She loves you, understands your family background like no one else and wants to show you the way out of the darkness. Follow her. I sat in a pool of tears in bed last night because my boyfriend took off for B.C. yesterday. He left me a note in big black letters that said: "I can't do this anymore." I know I'm difficult to live with, can't control my temper, drink too much, hit him with things and am a big fat loser. My sister came over and says she wants to take me to rehab, but what if I stop drinking and he won't come back? I love booze -- it the only thing that makes me stop thinking about my past. My sister says her counsellor helped her quit drinking and stop obsessing over our abusive family life, and now she is a new person, but I need more than her stupid success story to quit: I need to know my man will come back to me. I love him so much! -- Broken-Hearted and Drunk, Downtown You need to heal from the abuses that started you down the road to alcoholism and violence.
