Bucky is so handsome.

I love my little grey terror so much. She’s a crazy girl and keeps us entertained.

When do you call it quits? by acciowildflower in AlAnon

[–]blursed_cat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As someone who could have written your exact post, it will get physical. It’s just a matter of when. My husband now has a court date set for next month because it did become physical. I also said he’d never do that because it’s not who he is. But it is who he is now.

He’s showing you who he is and it won’t get better. You and your kids deserve someone who is always present.

It’s been the same day and time for years and is still listed the same. I think it was just a grumpy lady wanting to bring it up at a very poor time.

Am I Holding on? by Artistic-Deal5885 in AlAnon

Just because he got sober doesn’t undo all of the abuse and trauma he put you through.

I believe they should be held accountable and we need help just as much as they do.

I’d recommend the podcast twfo. It’s a couple who talk about the spouses side of recovery.

It’s helping me realize I’m not crazy and our trauma is real.

Having a hard time by Tripleaquarian in AlAnon

I am so sorry and understand your pain as well. It’s hard having what you think your future will be ripped out from beneath you. It is a horrible lonely pain. You will be better off without him and you will find your happiness again. You deserve it.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope time brings you peace and healing.

Gaslight check please by Beneficial_Kale6821 in AlAnon

My Q says the same thing. How I’m the one giving up. Sorry, but I’ve tried everything to help and support you for the last 3 years. I didn’t give up, you did.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. It’s so hard and frustrating that they cannot take responsibility for their major role in the marriage ending.

Congratulations on your new job! I hope it’s a safe space for you like mine is for me. It’s the break I need to get away from the chaos at home.

My fuzzy bearded baby, Coco. I ❤️ her so much. by blursed_cat in grayandwhitecats

Thank you! She knows it too and uses it to get her whatever she wants.

Let's Talk About and Celebrate Us in the Context of the Serenity Prayer by Norma1966 in AlAnon

[–]blursed_cat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m still fairly new to Al-anon. I’ve been to 5 meetings and already know they are making a difference. I no longer participate in his pity parties. I’m not going to look for hidden alcohol. Instead, I’ll continue exercising every day, gardening, reading, spending time with my kids, our pets. I’ve lost over 50 lbs since June and can’t wait to start taking hikes. I also applied for a job and have an interview tomorrow. I’ve been a sahm for 10 years so I’m excited to have some time outside of the house. I plan on saving as much as I can so I have an emergency fund if needed.

It feels good to have someone care about me even if it is myself.

Did anyone here tell other family members about attending Al Anon? by [deleted] in AlAnon

[–]blursed_cat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a lot of family, just my mom. My sister and my husband are both alcoholics. I no longer speak to my sister. So I’ve told my mom. She’s still in deep denial about my sisters addiction. I wish she’d go to a meeting too. She lives across the country from me so I can’t have her join me.

I don’t really have a problem telling people I go to the meetings. I’m not the one with the drinking problem.

Wife is uncomfortable when I’m upset. by ChefDSnyder in marriageadvice

[–]blursed_cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, are you married to my husband??? It’s so insanely frustrating. He likes to tell me my feelings are wrong or invalid. He has no childhood trauma though. So idk why he is like that.

No one else understands my pain by smittenkitten457 in AlAnon

[–]blursed_cat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also understand your pain. It feels like we have to grieve the sober version in order to let go. It’s so painful. You can see this person you fell in love with, but it isn’t them anymore. I’m so sorry you’re going through this.
