writes: My husband has a drinking problem. His son, 28, drinks too. I hate when his son comes home because they drink together.Some times I get so angry that I can act really nasty. My husband gets upset because I bring my sister to our house and I am very close with my family. Is this really love or we are both codependent? Can this be healed?

Codependency and love can exist together. You can easily love someone and be codependent at the same time...heck codependency can be born out of love.
I think it would be good for you to join Al-Anon. There are a lot of people with similar stories to you and just knowing you're not alone and you're supported could be helpful. There's also a book by Melodie Beattie called "Codependent No More" that has brought relief to a lot of people. You can find it on Amazon.
Good luck!
