This podcast is about Cary who gave it all to the myth that she could control the disease.
We learn that:
- Here was an ordinary, nice woman who was overcome by the disease that her husband contracted through no fault of her own.
- It became obvious that she was crying out for help, but she fervently denied the idea that there was anything wrong with her.
- Her co-dependency was so profound, she stopped taking care of herself, focusing all her energy on the illusion, the myth, that she could help her husband stop his drinking.
- The price that Cary paid essentially meant her life. Her body and soul succumbed to the stress imposed by the family disease of alcoholism and resultant co-dependency.
