So worried about my husband feeling hopeless
Permalink  

He's so broken. He relapsed Friday night. He hates himself. He hates his life even though he has so much he knows he should be grateful for. It breaks my heart to watch him sobbing and talking about what a horrible person he is. His dad died ten years ago tomorrow and he sobs that he misses him. He dabbled in AA and sees a therapist but I just don't think he's open to anything yet. I know I'm strong enough to handle all this thanks to al anon (which I finally started three months ago.) I feel so helpless. I wish he could see the man everyone else sees and learn to love himself. Thanks for listening.

I also send you positive thoughts and prayers....I had to visualize turning mine over again and again and again and again to a power greater than me. It's very hard to watch someone we love self-destruct for any reason....lean into your program and trust your HP - that worked for me!
