Melt down to much expectations


Adding onto neshema's E/S/H and support for you: It isn't true that all AA people are happily married. Nobody ever really knows what is going on in the inside of a marriage except the spouses. Even if that were true - you aren't happily married right now - and that is what is true for you. I'm glad you've been going to meetings, reading your literature and handling things to the best of your ability one day at a time. This is a hard road you're walking right now and you need all the healthy support you can get. Keep coming back and taking good care of you. Much support for you.

PLEASE keep working on you....He is just trying to get control......I would just tune him out, keep working my program and let the chips fall where they may....as you develope a healthy self love and healthy boundaries, you can best figure out what is best for you in the long haul...

he has his AA you have your program and nobody has the right to interfer in your program....just keep on keepin on and we are here to listen ok?????

a lot of times when one gets help to learn to take care of themselves they get attacked, demeaned, discouraged, et, al, but we gotta keep on keepin on....

we are here....keep coming back....Hope you have a sponsor, if you don't have one, maybe its time to get one...and meetings...I would be in meets all the time to keep me standing up....

Good luck :)

Sounds like a bunch of horsecrap to me. Most AA folks I know support Al Anon and are well aware that things aren't rosey on either side of the organizations. He may be sober from alcohol, but it sounds like he has some growing to do still and that's OK. Just keep working on you. You both are on your own path, you are growing in your own ways, and no one said you grow at the same rate and walk happily along on the same path. I'm sorry that things are so frustrating for you, sending you big hugs tonight!

I don't ask about his meetings . I don't get involved because it turns around on me. After going to a meeting last night . I came home to find him here in my house. He reason was to check the mail. I had my hair done yesterday . Cut different added some red highlights for a change of my blond looks . I wish I could add my face to my profile so when u see me and read about this disease that's I here about daily u would remember me . He didn't like my choice of style or color . But made plenty of negative comments to make me feel worthless and ugly , he got his digs in me for 15 min before he left the house tonight. Well you do look like a scrot tonight . Your hairdresser needs to go back to school you really do look like a who... . These words these little visits I get sets me back , makes me wanna give up . I hate having him take my pic to tell me how screwed up I look and brings me in front of the mirror and ask me what I see .. I said a asshole because he was behind me degrading me.. Sorry for the a word.. That's what I saw at the time a man who is getting his last stomp on me last poke of how much he dispises me. Yes I'm crying right now I'm in my pity pile of tears and fears of not getting better, him and his boundary book in hand and starts making ground rules for me . He is sick and twisted and I can't question if he working his steps because I don't no the steps he on . He has a way to make me believe anything he says . I'm just very discourage and hurt by his new behavior and his smirks and the bad stare down of discrase I am . I am grateful today that tonight is over and he out of the house. And I have hope that tomorrow I can chose to be me and only me.

(((Ms Codependent))) You are a child of HP. Beautiful in your own way and style. When HP created you in that mysterious way that only HP do and breathed His/Her/It/Their Spirit of life into you, you were called GOOD. HP still calls you GOOD, beautiful, my little one, my daughter, my masterpiece, my delight, the apple of my eye. HP's will for you and for your life is to be happy, joyful, living at peace. That is HP's will for the man you call your husband, too. The disease that torments both your husband and you is not HP. It is a liar and a thief. It does not want happiness, joy or peace for you or for the man you live with right now. It is a destroyer. Listen to your HP. Believe the good news. HP calls you good. HP calls you beautiful. HP calls you my daughter, my delight, the apple of my eye. And if you can afford it - go out today and buy yourself a brand new outfit - one that you love and feel good in. Then, look at yourself in a mirror and tell yourself the truth. You are good. You are beautiful. You are loved by the Source of Life that calls you by name, wants nothing but your peace and happiness and joy. Then do the next right thing for you and for your children.

(((Ms Codependent))) Don't let the disease stop you either. Stand up to it by telling yourself the truth whether you can afford a new outfit or not. Keep doing it. These are truths for us all: I am good. I am beautiful. I am the daughter/son of HP. I am the apple of HP's eye. I want happiness, joy and peace. I surrender to my HP's love, care and guidance. Show me, HP, what your will for me is today. Give me the power I need to carry it out. Thank you, HP, for loving me.
