[QUOTE="tishthedish, post: 635852, member: 17103"] Thanks for your replies. Knowing we're not alone in these terrible situations is a comfort. It's like I had girded myself for the big things...saying "No" to asking for $,borrowing our car etc. is settled in my mind. The small things tend to knock me off my feet. I am going to start going to more Al-Anon meetings. They are so helpful. I read the tendencies and yes, many exist, but he didn't show them before using, so sometimes I hope. He's not going to be well for a long time and then, only when he works at it. Great idea! I'm doing this starting today. Recovering, I am just astounded at the time it takes. Then I reflect on how many years it took for my sense of self to slowly erode until I realized if someone asked me how I was I gave them a rundown on the family, never mentioning myself. BUT, this process, this rediscovery and reclamation of self is like going back to college. And there's always homework. Thank you for all your replies and for the kind birthday wishes. I've decided instead of dread, I may just go out of town with husband and see a show or go to a museum. Life is too short. [/QUOTE]
