RAH is still shifting blame on me for everything. Therapist said if and when I do move forward with a divorce that I need to be prepared to be blamed for it. My therapist thinks RAH is pushing me to file for divorce so he can be the victim. It seems my only option is divorce - I'm slowly accepting that reality. It's really tough. I feel like my choice is the lesser for two evils - A divorce (hate to put my 14 yr DD through that) or try to find a way to cope/thrive in this marriage.
Thanks!
When I was about 10 my mother divorced my alcoholic father. Believe me when I say that although it was hard, I have always looked up to her for doing it and really, putting me through growing up with an alcoholic father in the house would have been even worse.
