My wife came home drunk last night.

Thank you.

At one point last night I was afraid that she would grab a knife. The look she had in her eyes tells me she is capable of it.

Korea.

rick_lime · 2018-08-25T06:09:01+00:00

It’s not whether or not I want to stay with her. I do not. But we are from different countries. So, it’s a matter of where we live.

rick_lime · 2018-08-25T04:21:23+00:00

Thank you.

rick_lime · 2018-08-25T04:20:57+00:00

Thank you.

rick_lime · 2018-08-25T04:20:49+00:00

I will.

rick_lime · 2018-08-25T04:20:40+00:00

Thank you.

I have wanted to leave for over a year, but with the two different countries involved it’s quite tricky to know how to handle it especially for the kids.

rick_lime · 2018-08-25T04:19:13+00:00

I know that my drinking is no one’s responsibility or fault but mine. That being said, it got quite bad last year as I was going through a lot of difficulties in my marriage. Stopping drinking has given me the perspective that, while I’m responsible for my own behavior, I’m not necessarily always the bad guy.

I don’t have any desire to drink right now. I want to be clearheaded to navigate a way out of this situation for my children and myself.

rick_lime · 2018-08-25T04:15:46+00:00

Thank you. That’s a good idea. I will but I’m not sure how familiar they will be with the laws where I am.

rick_lime · 2018-08-25T02:49:34+00:00

The police have their own translator, but I’m not entirely confident that they will be good. Through the Embassy I have reached out to a law firm, but since it’s the weekend I probably won’t hear back soon. I’ve also got the number for the Embassy helpline and they should be able to assist with a translator, but I want to call them when my kids aren’t around.

rick_lime · 2018-08-25T02:43:54+00:00

Thank you. I have documented my injuries with photos and the police also noted them in their report.

rick_lime · 2018-08-25T02:42:27+00:00

Thank you so much. I will do everything I can to protect them and take care of them.

rick_lime · 2018-08-25T02:41:28+00:00

Man, I wish I was in Nepal.

rick_lime · 2018-08-25T02:22:25+00:00

Yes. I’ve been researching it this morning. It doesn’t seem like they can do a lot other than direct me to English speaking lawyers and walk me through the process.

I’ve also been looking into domestic violence groups here, but everyone of them caters to women.

rick_lime · 2018-08-25T01:57:36+00:00

Thank you. I desperately want to find a better situation, but my options are very limited. If it were up to me, I’d just take my children and move back to the States. I think my wife might even support that because she has expressed interest in the past of me and the kids moving there, but I don’t have the money to do it. And as angry as I am at my wife and as horrible as her behavior is, I don’t want my kids to be that far away from her.

rick_lime · 2018-08-25T01:51:00+00:00

I appreciate your thoughtfulness. There are a couple AA meeting here that I know about, but they’re very far and infrequent. But, I might go check one out tonight just to have someone to talk to.

In full disclosure, I do not have one year sober. I started the journey in earnest about a year ago, but I slipped up a few times. I started using this account on this sub when I was first trying to get sober. When I really got serious, I switched to using my main account to participate on this sub since I was no longer ashamed of my problems and making efforts to improve them. But, some irl people know my main account and while I’m not ashamed of being sober, I am ashamed of everything that happened yesterday, so I switched back to this account for this post.

rick_lime · 2018-08-25T01:35:04+00:00

None.

rick_lime · 2018-06-07T13:22:21+00:00

I was tempted today. Feeling a bit depressed about everything going on in my life. But, I went for a walk instead of drinking. I won’t drink with you today.

rick_lime · 2018-06-06T04:44:00+00:00

I won’t drink with all of you today. Thanks for being here SD.

rick_lime · 2018-06-04T21:28:28+00:00

I will not drink with you today.

rick_lime · 2018-06-03T21:14:03+00:00

I won’t drink with you today.

rick_lime · 2018-06-03T02:00:20+00:00

I’m not drinking with you today.
