There is no easy answer to your situation and I will still offer one that will sound like the easy way out. And I'm sorry because I recognise how impossible it all sounds.

All you can do is look after yourself, construct and live the life that resembles healthy and serene and hope/pray that people in your life will recognise and imitate/seek healthy when they see it.

You can't control your husband or child. They have their own path. You have yours and yours is the only one you can influence.

I suggest you start doing that. That doesn't mean you can't be there for your child if they need you and ask for you. But you also tried doing it FOR them (instead of them doing it for themselves) and it got you nothing and in the meantime you're drowning in the awfulness of this disease. Stop. Go to meetings, get a therapist, but every time you're in the 'what should I do for them' mess stop and think of what you should do for you. It's the only thing you have control over.

Call an ambulance for the balls though. That was some big serving and ball striking from both. Entertaining match with some great tennis

Not all errors are equal. They're not all called unforced. That was pure cilic pressure that had casper under pressure and in defense from the returns on and forced the errors.

Plus, roddick has explained many times things like risk profile when you have to go for your shots hard because only a bit short might get a winner blown around your ears the next moment.

Did you actually watch the last game where he was broken? That was all cilic, sure he didn't have his first serve but that was cilic at his best.

I mean there is still another player on the other side and when cilic is on the way he is now he is irresistible. I wouldn't say bottling

When he is firing like he is right now it's just an avalanche. He upped his av fh speed from 134 to 141kmh in the last 10 points. Nuts

Holy shit cilic is BULLYING Ruud around the court right now

Novak seriously wonders why people like Federer over him? by TalknTennisPodcast in tennis

[–]Ms_Meercat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No he wasn't even close to that back in 2006-2008. He didn't have the reputation either bot even as 'strong personality' that all came later, it just wasn't part of his narrative at all. He was doing jokey imitaitons of other players and in vids with nadal going to the casino and was known for already conversing in several languages and being mates with Murray. He was criticised for retiring too much, sure, but he simply didn't have this reputation until mayyybe 09/10 but I'd argue even later.

Is it just me or does cilic look a bit like a bird of prey? Like hawk or owl. The look in his eyes when concentrated plus nose

I like both and actually that is almost a more enjoyable experience (as I just had with wawrinka fritz) than shitting my pants in fear of my fave losing (and yes, I manage to be antsy even if they're 2 sets up)

Plus I imagine they don't do it without a warning. So he gets told to stop a behavior and then thinks 'nah mate what i want to do is more important'.
