know how you feel about the friend thing. Person I thought was a best friend for life, who was my best man at my wedding and had been friends since we were teenagers now acts like I don't exist. I was just fine as a friend when he was lonely and living alone. He got married and didn't even invite me to his wedding, I've never even seen his children. He was the first person I called when my first child was born. We even made 3 hour trips on the weekends to come and see him. I guess he no longer needs me to 'entertain' him. He won't even talk to me on the phone... left many messages with no response. No reason given. No great wisdom here but just that i understand how you feel.
I am glad that you found us and had the courage to post. Alcoholism is a dreadful disease over which we are powerless. Living with this disease we become angry, resentful self pity and full of fear. Alanon and this Board offer tools that l enable us to learn to Live Our Lives and allow the alcoholic to live theirs. We learn to let go of the anger, resentment and fear and develop compassion empathy and a true focus on our lives one day at a time.
