The good mood is continuing. Today my husband didn't have to work because of the rain. I let him sleep in, normally I would be resentful that he was sleeping like a baby and I was up with the baby and doing chores. Today I went about my chores and told myself that I would do them alone if he had gone to work so what difference does it make? He took us out to lunch and it was really nice. He said that he has really enjoyed the past few days. We haven't argued and both of us stayed pretty positive. On the way home I got upset because he said he wanted a joint. I ran my mouth for a minute about his "recovery". I realized that I was doing and shut up. When I got home the books I had ordered from here had come in the mail. I went to our room and began reading Marriage on the Rocks. So far, it is very good. I took a two hour nap and he watched the baby for me. He asked me questions about my program, which I answered honestly and explained some things he didn't understand. I was able to explain it without placing blame and without lecturing. It felt good. We go to court tomorrow for his Domestic Violence charge. His mother suggested I still request court ordered treatment and I will. He knows that I am and he is okay with that, I think. He admits he needs it. Tomorrow morning is his assessment at the treatment center and he has asked me to go with him for support. I agreed. I took $100.00 out of the bank today to pay his fee tomorrow morning for treatment and left it in my pocketbook. If he chooses to take it tonight after I am asleep then that is between him and his HP. Thanks for all of the support.
