[quote=Anonymous]"Part of the issue is my ex is extremely sensitive and everyone around her is walking on egg shells" This is codependency. As the adult daughter of an alcoholic I have to say, she will not break if people are honest/tough love with her. Healthy boundaries need to be set. Often times we think deep down we'll be the cause of their drinking if we don't walk on egg shells, that simply isn't true. They need to get therapy, go to Al-Anon or something similar.[/quote]
