My 2 A's (Husband & Mom)
Permalink  

At the top of my lungs i want to scream!  I hate this feeling I have inside.  It's empty!

My 2 A's are my husband and my mom.

Husband

  • been seperated 18 months
  • miss him tremendously
  • he's in treatment 45 days clean
  • i'm going see him this weekend

Mom

  • boundary- i don't go to her house after work, don't wanna be around her drinking
  • spending time with her gives me anxiety.  she eithers smothers me by trying to mother me (harshley) or sucks the life out of me by "needing" me.
  • i feel like she picks at me, too many questions

Sigh.... i'm trying, i'm trying, i'm trying to hold myself together.  I got this.

You do 'got this'! And, you don't have to hold yourself together, that's what your HP and your sponsor and program friends are for! Come here to vent and let it go. I know we all understand. My A's are/were my husband and my dad(he passed 15 months ago). I moved 3000 miles away from my dad just so I wouldn't be subjected to his craziness any longer. Oops, forgot though, that I took my AH with me, LOL!
