Most of the time we’re unaware that we’re in a dysfunctional mindset from being brought up in an addictive or alcoholic family.

Generation to generation we have passed down the same mindset and thinking patterns, behavior patterns, and even thoughts on money.

If you look at the family systems theory, if you create a family tree of dysfunction and addiction you will trace it back three or more generations.

What makes it hard is when you are healing and surrounding yourself with like minded people who have addiction, alcoholism problems, or co-dependency.

When you step out of the drama triangle, and step into a place you’re surrounded by a higher mindset of people who live in healthier relationships, you can learn to get past the fear, anxiety, worries, and move on to a happier place.

These behavior patterns and thinking patterns must be overcome and stepping into a new environment where alcohol, substance abuse, and co-dependency doesn’t exist.

Otherwise you will relapse and fall back into the same struggles, and feel defeated, and give up. Changes must happen for you to step out of the game of victim and victimizer. In these types of relationships, this is the end result, dysfunction that cycles around and around and never ends. The only thing that happens in these situations is living in anxiety and fear.

This is a topic that is close to many peoples hearts and I think more articles should be wrote about it. Great work Heavenly!
