Hey Hawkeye,
we had a discussion about respect the other day. He was reminding me quite coldly how my family particularly my brothers don’t respect me. I told him I was I aware of that and that I’ve made some changes in my relationships as I’ve learned a lot about respect through my sobriety. I then asked him if the way he was speaking to me was respectful. He acknowledged it wasn’t. No apology just an acknowledgment.

It goes both ways though. Something has got to change or this relationship won’t be viable. Suppose we could try therapy again especially now that I’m sober.

I appreciate everyones input.
