Losing the Drama
Permalink  

I just returned from a very relaxing week-long vacation at a lake resort area about 500 miles from where I live. This was my first extended vacation since separating from my AH a year and a half ago. It was SO nice not to have to endure any drama during my break. In past years, I had to walk on my tiptoes around my AH during a vacation like this. I never knew what was going to set him off. He either wanted to drink even more because he was on vacation, or else be very grumpy because he wasn't happy with the way things were going (looking back, he was probably hungover on many of these occasions). His emotions would be very unpredictable, and often times very scary for our family. Even the smallest change in our plans or an unexpected call from one of his employees could set him off into an angry furor.

Thanks to Al-Anon, I have been able to work on taking care of myself and this trip certainly put into perspective how important it is for me to take "me time" now and then. I felt so "in the moment" and grateful for all of the blessings my HP has provided for me. I'm looking forward to finding out what else my HP has in store for me as I move forward in my recovery. smile
