lol....oh, yes, I am no stranger to anxiety. I know that, usually, it is the fear of the fear that is the main problem.....
Well, we just had the talk and it went better than I expected. Don't get me wrong...I know that the begging, crying, drinking and such will rear it's ugly head before we move, but I feel good about my decision. He promised to get help, promised to change and said that I don't have to leave the house. I told him that's great, but don't do that thinking that I'm going to stay. I told him that he can't get well if he's doing it for any other reason than himself. I will work on myself and he will work on himself. I told him that I would be there to support him IF he's showing that he's working on himself but ONLY if he's doing that.
I think we were both relieved, actually. We're both miserable and stuck doing the same old same old. One of us had to make the move and I think he was almost glad that I did it for us.
But, it's out in the open and we're working on a plan for the house now.
No more panic attacks.
I'll keep you all posted. Thanks for being there for me!
