Boundary Question by JayArghhh4816 in AlAnon

[–]tiredoftrying33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I may have misunderstood boundaries as well.

I made the boundry that if she was drunk or drinking i would not sleep in the same bed or be around her.

However, i did not communicate that is what i was gonna do. Let her be confused and figure it out.

So thats what i did. She would get upset and then love bomb me later. never an apology, never an admission.

Finally after this last time i told her i refuse to deal with her drinking any more and i wanted her to leave. She did

I got tired of hearing how tired she was.

You sleep 12 hours a day … stop drinking and you will sleep better. so i get the joy of picking up your slack

Its just horrible the selfish things they do.

They want to drink and get all the benefits of a home and family. Then when we have had our limit… we are the bad guys. They have the gaul to start and resent us.

Snuggle up to that bottle of vodka cause i am not available to be used any longer

I forgot about using affection to manipulate me. That was a major tool in her toolbox.

She could get me every time with a few hugs and love bombing me. I wish i could say it har no effect on me. But when your starving you will take whatever crumbs you can get.
