It's been awhile since I've posted....6 years. My husband has been sober for six years until now.....but in those six years we made a life. A house and a family. A 4yr old boy and a 10 month old girl. And now this......there's been about 3 instances in the last 3 months. He's hanging out with people he hasn't seen in the 17 years we've been together and calling them his "family". Hello your family is right in front of your face. He's been acting shady. And he finally lost it. He starting screaming at me at dinner time in front of the kids and then threw a plate of food at me. I put my arms up to block it or it would have hit me right in the face. He's traumatized my son....he packed a bag and left.
I don't know what to do. I've been up all night with my children who cant sleep. I have to work and today is my birthday. Saturday is our daughters baptism and Im afaid he's gonna show up drunk or angry.
(((Kristina))) Welcome back. I am glad that you remembered our address and am so sorry that this dreadful disease has become active once again.You know the tools, so please do search out alanon face to face meetings as well Positive thoughts and prayers on the way.
(((Kristina))) - I too welcome you back to MIP. So sorry about the disease raising up. I too hope you can breathe, just breathe and then restart your recovery program. A sincere Happy Birthday to you and I am certain it makes your emotions that much worse because of the timing. This disease, unfortunately, is not selective for who is affected and when. It's progressive and never cured, but we have hope through our own recovery.
I would not worry about the weekend - it's not here yet. If you can, focus on the here and the now. We are here for you so keep coming back.
(((hugs)))
