well, we had a long, crying talk. He admits he is an alcoholic. Has asked me to help him find a meeting, he will go.
He also apologized a lot. He also made me realize I wasn't giving him much wiggle room and made him feel like he wasnt doing a good job with the kids.
I agree. I tended to over...
thanks everyone. I plan on sitting down and talking. I am not good with conforntation. I tend to back down if he gets defensive. i hope its an issue of mid life and drinking. We can overcome the drinking and get threw the hormones.
cheating would really shock me. He's never given me a...
the craziest part is how the relationship went from good to crap. I have had years of sheer joy with him. he was my every fantasy. Seems like it has just flipped over night.
He was the ideal example of a good man for my kids. He treated me with such love and compassion. It is just...
Sadly, I think that is a major problem. He has definantly kicked that into overdrive, from a few beers to entire bottles of whiskey. I hate when he drinks the whiskey.
I am going to call Alanon and go to a meeting. I appreciate the advice, I didnt want to admit it, but I do think its...
Thanks 2bz. I am pretty sure of the signs. Just hope its him needing space and not him needing permanant space.
The hardest part is how he has gone from being so kind and gentle with me to a typical assy guy. You know the type who have this idea that they are so fabulous that they can...
Thanks CJ. I needed to just voice it and feel it. I hope he works threw this and we regroup. I tried to talk and it gets loud. i dont do loud. I have shut my mouth and backed down more in the last month than i have in many many years. I dont want to lose my marriage. But its getting...
we are poor and hardworking. We have what we need and some left over for some of what we want. But we are definantly poor in most peoples eyes. I have great kids and until recently I had a great marriage. :th I hope it bounces back. we will see.
But I have a roof over my head, no savings...
I am married to a man who was single for 36 years prior to us marrying. he lived with a few women. But I'm the first he married.
I have two kids living at home. They are really good kids. Easy to handle.
We bought a home, and we have been extremely happy.
But about a month ago, things...
I just recently forgave my abusive father, he isnt expected to make it much longer and I am greatful I had the chance. It was good for my healing. He is much smaller on the monster scale now that I took away his power. ANd I believe I can let go of him now without any left over feelings. I...
savig to finish the last year of my specialization. 9 months and my pay should be soooo much higher. so we are squirming for nine months and then hopefully we will be comfortable.
so for now, no spending unless necessary and all bills paid first, then fun money. Hubby will struggle the...
My two cents regarding yelling....
My oldest drove me insane. Honestly she was a hard kid. I yelled way too much. Then when she was about ten or so I noticed she would cower when I came into the room.
I was mortified. She feared me. I didnt want that . I was ashamed I was so out of...
have you given lots of grit and calcium? My girls were having trouble digesting because they didnt have enuf in the grinder. Seemed to help.
You might try seperating her and giving her some alone time to bounce back. maybe she was being roughed up when you didnt see it and she's hurting...
