No details need Anne... I'm proud of you for reaching out for help. Sending positive energy and healing thoughts your way! Look forward to your return.
I am about to lose my mind and jump out of my skin. I thought FDH found a place but it seems sketchy. So he's now SLOWLY looking for a new one on his iPad. I want to put my head through a wall.
In funnier news, I just talked my my 22 year old son who is quite the comedian. He was so loving and supportive. At one point he said "If I was you I'd go in there with 47 margaritas in me shouting 'where my party people at?'" God, I love him. He then asked me if you can show up there drunk. I said "I guess they pretty much expect it". Then I opened myself a nice cold beer.
I really can't blame him at all. I've had this as an underlying issue for a long time. The recent stress really brought it to surface. And he's been really supportive in trying to get us both healthier.
I've asked him to make a ton of changes. And he's made many and really is working to improve things for us. Not to my liking all the time but he's trying. And I finally realized that I can't ask him to improve without fixing my own issues. So here I am.
Thank you. And thank you for all of your support and encouragement on here. You have made a world of difference.
I truly believe that this site has helped me to get to this point. I came here to bitch about SD12 and FDH and now I am heading off to fix my own shit.
Anne, as you may know from my previous posts, I am an alcoholic, my prayers are with you. I can tell you this: when you are around other alcoholics such as in rehab, AA or group, you will feel set free, being around other people with the specific disease of alcoholism. Thank God you have reached out for help_ I didn't until i had an expensive and humiliating DUI under my belt. I am praying praying praying for you.
Thank you. I didn't know. I really appreciate the encouragement.
I've only told a couple of people about this outside of this site. And they are all drinking folks and even they have been incredibly supportive. I am looking forward to my new life where I don't spend 50% exhausted and hungover.
OMG. This is taking FOREVER! He's on the phone with yet another place. We're still trying to get me in tonight.
In related news, I told him how sorry I was for everything I've said/done recently when messed up. He appreciated that. I've been a horror in the last few weeks. He then announced that he loves having sex with me but doesn't like to when I am messed up. I said "Great, add that to the list of shit I feel bad about"
I would guess that he may have been feeling frustrated and helpless maybe even scared for you. Like a vent of relief which shows he cares. It can hurt hearing it for sure but give him the benefit of doubt and just take things one step at a time.
