Or a doormat... or enabler... Well, I like the sound of resilient better. Actually yes, I am very resilient, but it remains to be seen how well I handle life going forward, as if the last decade never happened. As our son heads to college next year (hopefully/presumably), how will our home look without his presence and my sense of feeling a need to keep it together. Yes, I'll want him to have a "normal" home to come back to - one he has good, or if nothing else, comfortably familiar memories of. Wife talks about our future together, a nice little cottage where we both love to go... I don't see that unless she is clean. I can't and won't do that. Still some time, but first two weeks of her in a program - its a start and too long coming, AND she doesn't really want to be doing it, so God only knows, and as my Dad used to say, "... and he ain't talkin'"...
