I kept Christmas as drama free as possible. My alcoholic girlfriend is killing my family relationships. I put her above others. When they (my family) are gone, all I will have is an alcoholic girlfriend who continues to use and avoid treatment. Why do I do this to myself? And I do do this to myself.

Yes, I attend Al-Anon. ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ž

Why do you stay? Is it because sheโ€™s hot and great in bed? Why would you let your gf ruin your family relationships?

Excellent question. I believe itโ€™s called a codependency, as I am dependent on the person who is dependent on the alcohol.
