Hi everyone - the first day of the beginning of my new life is here. I am going to school starting Monday. Two weeks and I will be able to tutor children who are dyslexic. I am really looking forward to this. I knew when I decided to do this, my husband would try to sabotague me. Well, I guess it is my HP throwing the roadblocks in 1) I lost my job as a substutute teacher, worked there four years and they stopped calling, no reason given. 2) my husband lost his job, been unemployed for two months 3) son broke his arm pitching, two surgeries.
It's going to take a mac truck running me over to keep me from getting to this class in the morning.
We went to Mother's Day brunch and my husband arranged yet another dinner party without asking me, asked his aunt and uncle to come over for dinner Tuesday night. Never bothered to ask me. My son has finals to study for and I have been told I will have lots of homework with my class. I don't even care, I don't even want to say anything to my husband. I have asked him until I am blue in the face to stop making dinner party plans without asking me. Thank god his aunt and uncle said they had other plans. My husband lives in his own world, he does not drink but he sure acts like an alcoholic. My son and I are going on with our life. My husband never finished college but refuses to go back to school and try to move forward with his life, he only feels comfortable with other alcholics and doing things that involve alcohol. I am moving on.... thanks for listening
Husband can have everyone over that he wants tooo.... I will be studying.... he doesn't think of anyone but himself...so he will be entertaining by himself....

You GO Girl!!!! I think it is GREAT you going to school and doing what is best for you and Son.........Great job of DETACHMENT and Keeping the Focus on YOU!!!
Happy Mothers Day Mrs. Robin... And Good for you for standing your ground, and puttin your foot down on what you willl and will not except..I know it takes alot, and you have had a lot going on here in the last couple months, but TODAY is Mother's Day and you should not have to worry about things that are out of your control. Focus on you and your boy, and what it means to be a mother... You are worth it girl.. Good for you for standing up and taking nothing less... Good for you for going to school and working to get what YOU want out of life instead of watching it all pass by..
Your Strength is unbelieveable, keep up the good work.. You got this :)
Hi Robin, We are in the same boat as always! I start to school on Monday, nothing is going to stop me either. I admire your tenacity and it inspires me not to give up on my school either. Husband didn't show up today, but had a wonderful day with my mom and daughter and that's what it's all about anyway. I am hoping that husband will show up tomorrow to take daughter to her band concert, he says he will, but I am scared he won't. Must turn this over to HP. No more calls from school either, substituting for me must be done for the year. I relate to the loss of job. I admire you for standing up to your husband about the dinner dates, set those boundaries and keep too them, you go girl!
thanks for all the support from my good alanon friends, I love you all. I did tell husband that son and I had plans for every night this week. I have to pass an open book test for this class so I will be studying. He did tell his aunt that Matt and I would be busy. I told my son that when his finals were over, he would be helping me study just like I helped him. thanks again.
