Hey Kitkat,
Sounds good to me!
A lot of what I heard from him last night, was "what about me". He didn't want to hear anything about me, which is what bothers me (this goes even outside the alcoholism).
My husband went thru this as well... he wanted to feel like a victim. You know why?
Cuz he wanted me to once again come running in and pick up the pieces; coddle him and take care of "poor" him.
I'm not sure it was intentional... but he wanted back all the codependant "care-taking" he used to get from me, AND he wanted to lay some guilt on me so he didn't feel so bad.

Geesh... gotta love them for trying

Take care
Meg
