It may even be an attempt to manipulate you. We alcoholics do that kind of thing, and it doesn't just magically stop when we sober up. It's my hope that you would do whatever you feel you need to do right now to be healthy and take care of yourself. Peace!
BlownOne - Thank you! It’s very helpful hearing from recovering alcoholics. I was So excited when he started AA, I thought our problems would be fixed. Obviously, it made things worse, for me and our kids at least. Tonight he called the kids acting like Disneyland dad, earlier he was foul. His moods are nuts and at least I’m free from walking on eggshells for a while.
