i sit back and think, my life is quit "interesting" at times

My AH came home after agreeing to "house rules"~I have made boundaries and stuck to them this time. I am totally able to detach at this point. 

As I start this remember Its been about five days now he's been home and sober. He is talking about buying a vacation place for our family he has wanted to for awhile, in the past we had one but he sold it wanting a better one.. I told him when he had the cash money he could buy it awhile back. He has about 1/2 of it now. So now he's all about buying this.

 It makes me realize how true it is that maturity stops when the abuser starts abusing.... a 13 yr old would consider spending everything he saved on a luxery not worrying that he may not have a home or family if things dont stay better and he can live within the boundaries.

 And since he has had so much luck controling alcohol and whatever on his own  in the past (not)he thinks he can this time.  

confuseANYWAY ... we'll see ?!?!?!   I dont worry anymore just take one day at a time, so I replaced my worry with thinking... this is interesting?!?!?!?

Goin ok ... I'm good six out of seven days a week I'd say. Usually one night I don't do as well on not reacting to ridiculous things he says or does ... I think I just get exhausted and give in by saying what I really think, which I know better. This is truly a soul sucking disease. I continue to work on my own healing and reacting. Hope all is well with you !!!
