"I'm only home a couple days a week. I was gone from the house for 15 straight hours today. Couldn't they at least TRY to not drink a little harder? I mean it's just a couple days a week. Why wait until I'm home?"
I will venture a bet that the Why Wait Until You Are Home is because she is an alcoholic! When you are gone..she drinks because you are always gone. When you are home..she drinks to put up with you while you are there.
When you leave..finally leave the marriage..she will find another person or reason to blame. OR it will still be you. You left me you rotten SOB..cheers!
I am sure it is the same dance. I recognize her role because I am an alcoholic. I recognize your role because I was married to an alcoholic. I finally am free of the insanity and sober (in my 7th month)..and for the first time living in PEACE. I found out after sobering up I am also a codependent from hell. But now..I am a work in progress. No way in HELL will I return to the alcoholic lifestyle..either by going back to imbibe or by welcoming anyone that has anything to do with alcohol back into my life. It is like living out the War of the Roses. I wish you peace. This is the 1st time in my adult life that I am exactly where I want to be.
