Be they nasty or nice, he wants you to engage, and since you are not, it will in all likelihood get worse.
Stay your course and you will do what is best for you and your son!
Love and hugs,
Well, since his blackout the other night, he's been on the nice swing. He's even painting the patio this weekend while I'm gone. This, of course, comes after 4 days of excruciating silent treatment and him shooting eye daggers at me before he went on his business trip. So, I think he likes to mix it up and I'm just doing my best to stay constant.
One thing my sponsor and I talked about was that if he gets a 'rise' out of me, then he can accuse me of being the one who is crazy, flying off the handle about the drinking or abuse. She kept encouraging me to stay the course, as hard as it may be.
