I am taking this day off to do some much needed cleaning...came across a picture I didn't throw out or send back to him.
I looked at the two of us posed in our happy stances. I first thought - he looks so happy and I suddenly felt a bit of the love I used to feel and a bit sad I was not with him...then my recovery took over and I looked again.
After the lies he told me that day and how he treated me before and after this "happy" pic was taken; HOW CAN HE EVEN SMILE?!...let alone sleep at night. Oh wait, he drank and lied to anesthetize it all while I was in pain, dealing with it all, sober like non-alkies do.
I'm sure we've all had the same story. they lie. it's in their nature. Bees sting, A's lie.
