I've been doing a lot of research on verbal and emotional abuse lately. Seems I'm always trying to find the right "label" for my problems. But that's another subject entierly. LOL

I've come to think that mine and ABF's problems really seem to be more about the abuse than the drinking. I've read enough posts to believe that my ABF would be a dry drunk or one of the ones who doesn't get nicer when he gets sober. I have really started to think his bigges problem is with manipulation and emotional abuse more than with the alcohol..even though the totally seem to go hand in hand.

I agree with almost every point made in those two posts.. yet I find myself waiting around for some more.
