Since coming to Al Anon I have learned some basic skills to keep me sane while my AW has continued the 6 month long downward spiral.  She has not had a nice word for me in that time, every communication is sarcastic at best... downright hateful at worst.

Includes taking swings at me... not too big a deal, because under the influence it's like defending myself from a 5 year old.  She tried throwing my tape measure through the windshield of the racecar... Heck of a throw by the way, bounced off the windshield and off the fridge in the garage and through the window of the garage door.  I've replaced 2 doors that she has tried to put her fist through.  (they don't duck as well as I do)

I have brought back some of my sanity by reading the literature, going to meetings and getting some WONDERFUL insights from everyone here.

Then the curveball... All of a sudden Sunday morning she is fine, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and she loves her husband again.  Anybody who doesn't see this as a disease, some sort of hateful twist on the brain waves just hasn't seen enough yet.  This is not a trick... she had a great day and really enjoyed herself with us yesterday.  What comes this evening, or tomorrow when we are to go see the councelor... who knows and who cares.

I count it as a blessing and enjoyed myself for what it was... a GREAT day.  I could not have done that without you guys, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
