That takes a lot of nerves!!! Obviously he has it twisted Al Anon is not about becoming a tolerant little "wifey", it's about empowering yourself and learning to set boundaries and not let other people's craziness drive you nuts. You should try it, chances are you'll like it and he won't like you going there LOL.
I didn't even know any of this existed until he made that comment last night. I've spent the entire day on google looking for meetings and online blogs/chat rooms, trying to find someone to talk to. That's how I found you all. I never even would have thought to look if he hadn't said that. So I'm grateful. And he didn't say it out of meanness, it's hard to make his tone come across via written word, but he really just doesn't understand the pain and hurt I feel.
