Well, He Left
Permalink  

My ABF quit drinking for a week and a half, and is still the same, mean person he ever was. He refused to go to AA. I was lifting heavy boxes for goodwill into my car & he walked right past me...twice. Then he huffed & puffed That Id asked for help. He asked me later 'what my problem was' & I calmy told him. He took that as his opportunity to leave me & the kids for 2 days he says, although I have mertings with clients tomm. I know he was building to a drink. Im honestly glad hes gone. I changed the locks. Im finally ready to stand on my own. He doesnt want to be here anyway - he wants to be alone with alcohol. I know he will try to come back for free room & board in a few weeks. This time Im done with the empty promises, meanness, laziness, mooching, him changing for 3 days total. Im taking my life back, and Im ready.

Good for you for protecting the kids and you from the devistation the disease causes. I know it also hurts, as we also lose our dream and the person they used to be.

I always tell myself he is no longer the person I married. he is a pod person. so so so sad all around.

Good for you, and sending you peace. love,debilyn
