My weekend was good. He hasn't drank in a couple of weeks but that doesn't mean he is easy to deal with. Since he doesn't drink he has a very good memory so if I do something wrong he will rember it an throw it back in my face. Which I try not to say anything. He is running out of things to talk about. I have done some cleaning that he has asked. SO he can't pick on that. He is trying to see how far he can push me because I still am not letting him drive my car without me in it. It is a month today that I took the car key away from him. I don't think he thought I would stick to my guns. I am. It is very anoying at times to get up and get dressed to go somewhere. It would be much easier if I say here are the keys you can go by your self. But I can't do that. He could disappear and I would be worried sick about my car and I don't want to go thrur that. So I am holding out. He can drive all he wants, I even like it when he drives but I have to be in the car. If I let him drive and he gets drugs they take the car then how am I going to go to work. I am not going to be taking the bus and have to walk. If he crashs it then I will have no way of getting around. If he is drunk then I have to pay for it to get out of the lock up for the car. No I am not in the mood for that. So until he goes to AA I am not willing to give up my freedom of being able to drive where I want to go.

Good work there NYCBT
A whole month of sticking to your boundary with the car!
I am very very proud of you.
It is a hard boundary to maintain but such a very important one.
WAY TO GO

Stay tough. It sounds like he is trying to wear you down. You are making changes and this is good.
