Trisha, it is time that you reach out to Al-anon. You will

learn and acquire some great tools, slogans and prayers.

Working the 12-steps will help you answer all those

questions you have. You are not alone, we all have

experienced some or all of what you are going through.

Thank you so much for listening to my post. Not many F2F meetings here. I know i need them. He makes me feel like it's all my fault. My daughters wonder why i am with him still. He is very nice to them, but i think i've lost my love from so much past disappointments. Last time we had an argument, he was going to go fishing with me. I went to his house for the event. Thats always what brought us together. We don't do that anymore. He got really drunk and told me that if i wanted to do what my father did (if you ready my post earlier),there were plenty of loaded weapons in the house. Of course he was drunk and apolozied for saying it the next day. He left and i did too. He was asleep at my house when i got home. How can i still see a man who said that to me? Please someone tell me.

Trisha, Al-anon teaches us to detach with love and empathy.
In order for you to be able to move forward, you will have to
look at yourself and detach from your AH. This link will
help you locate a meeting near you.
www.al-anon.alateen.org/local-meetings
MIP also has 2 meeting per day here on line and you
can also work the steps here on this board as well.
You have to take the first step yourself. {{HUGS}}

Hi TrishaG,

Reading over what you have shared, my heart goes out to you for the feelings you are experiencing. I truly believe that taking a walk on the AlAnon path with F2F meetings, as those before me have also suggested, is something that can bring you the clarity you seek. Only you know all the details and motivations in your life, so no one else can give you those answers. If they could, you would still need to determine what you are going to do about the reality of your situation.

Before I tried AlAnon, I was confused, sad, fearful, and desperate. Attending meetings got me started on a path that has led me to real peace. You don't need many meetings, one will do wonders for you if you keep an open mind and keep going back. That is something that is within your control, something that worked for me and so many others when faced with desperate times. Please give it a try...

Thank you for your courage in sharing, we're all pulling for you

There are on line meetings here at MIP twice daily where you can participate and read the shares of our members. Getting a daily dose of Al-Anon will help you tremendously. Face to face meetings saved my life and maybe you'll find some in your area. It is important to read your shares here as if you were someone else or even one of us so that you can get a clearer picture of yourself and your condition. I was led to that idea in Al-Anon and it helped me tremendously to see "my part" in "my problem". You have skills and tools you don't know about yet. Come participate with us. ((((hugs)))) smile
