Hell hello. It's been a looong time since I last logged in, but I;m happy to report that overall I'm doing Ok and so is my family. My husband is almost a year sober, strong, and my three year old is just as amazing as ever.
Right now I;m feeling a bit overwhelmed by my AH's family. My husband has recently began re-building (is that a word?) his relationships with his family, and know all that matters is what they say. Every time we get in any sort of argument he runs to his dads place, tells him everything and comes back with a speech straight out his dads mouth. I've been wanting to set up a bussiness for a long time, with no support from him, but as soon as his brother came with a plan for a bussiness he's all on board. They jst can't go wrong with anything and hae a say in everything!! I just feel as my opinion doesn't count and that they all see me as an idiot! I feel like a 50's housewife thats just for show.

It doesn't matter what they think of you, truly. I know it hurts when others do not show any indication that they think you're intelligent. Perhaps they don't feel like you're an "idiot" at all; perhaps they do.
What really matters is what Priscilla thinks of Priscilla. Focus on what you want to do and not on what they might be thinking of you.
Remember: what others thinks of you is none of your business.
We've been addressing this fact in many of the post here lately.
Take good care and let the world know what Priscilla thinks

((((Priscilla)))) you got this family girl!! I'd like to hear about your business idea. Maybe he's just too afraid of it...Alkys are like that some...errrr alot of the time.
Addicts - from my experience - don't like change - they are fearful of change bringing about new awareness and independence. All stemmed from insecurity would be my guess. You must take care of you and you are important!
