My Story: Dad's return to Minnesota

While I was working at the glass factory, my dad’s plans in Arizona began to fall through. His gambling was becoming very consuming and before long he had lost his job and needed a place to seek refuge as well. We were blessed to both have an opportunity to move into a house that my brother was in the process of purchasing. I never would have moved back in with my father had I not thought that it would be a good financial opportunity. It was here that the codependency came back full force. My brother was now learning many of the lessons that I had learned about how manipulative an addiction can be to the loved ones surrounding it.
