My thoughts are: It would be nice if it turned out that way for all of us
But yet, what Salior John said, is also very true.
You never mentioned if your x was sober or not. That would be
the very first thing I would look at. Full recovery inside and out, not just
sober...
I know that when I have boundaries set, somedays they just fall apart
and Im once again attacked emotionally & mentally by the alcoholic.
You used the word "fooled" in your sentence....What does that mean??
