alcholism really IS just a symptom
Good morning SR friends,
I broke nc with xabf so we could exchange the odds and ends, loose ends etc. Soon after came the barrage of texts (sober mind you), voice mails and endless unanswered calls. He has been doing well on antabuse but all that is left now is a sober sociopath in deep denial. He is angry, narcissistic, blaming, projecting and all the other behaviors that go with this territory.
He firmly believes in his heart he has no underlying psych issues, refuses counciling or (god forbid) exploring the possibility that a psych medication may help him feel better and expedite his return to the world of the living.
After several useless talks I have gone back to NC for my own sanity. Seems there is nothing left in him besides scorched earth. I pray for him daily and always hope the best for him but even sober this is more than I can handle. I have offered it up to the HP, best I can do.
Thanks for listening,
