From what I can tell, this guy can not be there for you as he is sick himself.
I know that does not help the hurt heart and loneliness but you DO deserve better.
I would suggest doing something different today.
Something has got to give sooner or later, eh?
Thanks, you could be right. I do think the gambling is an issue, but it doesn't fill his house with smoke and I cannot very well let this one go. No, I am going to just have to tough this one out, as it were. I am going to have to go through the gut wrenching pain of loneliness and all associated with it to deal with MY addiction. I *had* hoped for an easier softer way, but there just isn't one.
