Your husband is in early recovery and he is a work in progress and I hope he is availing himself of a sponsor and even individual therapy as well as he is just getting to know himself and just because he is dry does not mean he is thinking with a sober mind yet. All you can do is take it a day at a time and continue your recovery. We all know its a family disease.
Thanks for that - Singersal. I try to remind myself that 5 months is only 5 months, compared to the 25 years he has been using. I just don't like the mean and cruel attacks. It's like communicating with my 13 yr old...everything I say gets taken WAY out of context and turned back on me to make me the bad guy or the crazy one. Hard to maintain one's serenity in those conversations. So its probably not a good time to have conversations at all.
