It's kind of funny and yet pitiful that my husband detects when I am really distancing myself from him. He makes extra efforts only in the areas that mean absolutely nothing anymore. I mean, really? At this point I couldn't care less if I get that token goodbye kiss in the morning. That has been the extent of our physical contact for at least six plus months.
I have been to AA meetings for family & friends of addicts. I didn't get that much from the meetings, however, I did receive a tremendous amount of spiritual support from the online meetings. But this healing is my path. My husband has never, nor will he ever, consider seeking help. He refuses to open himself up to anyone. Going outside our home and bearing his soul to a stranger would be unthinkable to him. Besides, he doesn't have a drinking problem and therefore doesn't need help. Right? Haven't we all heard this before?

I appreciate all of the help and support being offered here tonight.
