I say, congrats on this first step, and maybe you could consider attending your local Al-Anon
group. I wish I had gone to Al-Anon to deal with what was happening with my mother.
Again, welcome and congratulations. Best of luck to you and your husband!
Thank you for your support. I'm not sure I'm real hopeful. I have felt very alone lately. We always did everything together. I now have only to look forward to his nightly yelling at me. He blames it on that I've changed because of my brain hemmorage. Yes, I've changed. I'm older and wiser I did loose the vision in my right eye, but ok otherwise. I have a very high stress job. I have always been the bread earner. He used to be the kindest gentle man, and so thoughtful. No more. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to forget what he has said to me, and about me to his family and friends. I have forgiven him, since I know it's the disease. How do you make someone understand how each day we live is a gift, not to be abused. Thank you for listening. It does help
