Thank you queenteree.
Hellokitty. I have been down this road before. He was sober for a year a long while ago. He knows without a doubt my boundaries and that's why he hasn't been here for several years.
I was speaking of expectations and not in the common sense form. I'm far from new at this. Respect is demanded not expected in my home.
Expectations as far as changing my life to cater to his. Not in the way you are trying to explain. If he is sober......great. If not, life goes on.
I don't play "victm" cards.
