The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
My head knows my AH is ill. My head knows he is manipulative. My head knows he is fearful and that his fear is driving a lot of his behavior. My head knows I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to.
My heart is angry and frustrated that he is not rational and that I can't have a meaningful discussion with him at any level.
I feel angry and frustrated with myself because I keep falling into that trap of expecting rational behavior from him.
I feel angry and frustrated with myself because I still let him get to me and upset my serenity.
What to do? Come here and to the chat room and VENT!!!
Then put it in my HP box and let it go (and quit taking it back).
