Here it is Friday afternoon and I am about to cry at the thought of going home in an hour. I can't seem to stay focused on any of the possitive things that will come without my A husband. I go between totally teed off and boohooing like a fool. I wish there was some way we could just talk about what has happened and come to an agreement that would work for both of us. What a dream .. trying to be civil to someone that is only thinking about his next drink. I still plan on moving out but I am stuck until I get all the legal stuff in place. So how do I act like I don't have a broken heart until then ..... try to stay cool and calm. I have been going to as many meetings as I can and that has really helped even though it seems to make him madder each time I go. I now that I will make it through this weekend but right now I still don't know how. Thanks for letting me vent
Hello Pat , yur doing great going to meetings even if it does make him angry . He will adjust eventually. As for your weekends I hated them too but I found ways to get out of the house which made life lot easier for me. Go and get your hair shampooed and blowdryed just for the hell of it . Take yourself out to lunch . Go to a movie - anything to not have to stay home and wait for the blow up that u know is comming. You put one foot in front of the other and have a good weekend regardless of what he is doing .
No one said this is going to be easy but it is possible . Keep the focus on yourself and your needs for a change. Louise
Hi Pat. Boy, do I know what you're feeling! This is my first weekend, ever, alone and without a car. I decided that it would not hold me back. I made a phone call to a friend asking if she would like to spend the day with me. No call back. No big deal. I am finding out who my real friends are. This is a good thing. So, I decided to call a rental car agency that I've rented from in the past. I was not going to wallow. I am not going to let him take my life away. So, because it's Saturday and they're not open Sunday I think I get the car for 19.95 for both days. I'll find out for sure when they get here. Life goes on. We just have to push it along a bit.
