Cracking up

I'm not going to drink today. But he's at it again and I've seriously considered checking myself in someplace. The emotional abuse has to stop.

Good luck, dear. Without knowing your whole situation, I wonder if maybe you could go to any other safe place -- yes, checking yourself in somewhere would be good, but if you're afraid or hesitant about that, is there a friend or family member you could go to?

There are... One thing I do have is unbelievable support and friendship. I am trying to remember he is sick too, and to treat him as such. It will dissipate in a day or 3- and although I may take my friends up on their offers, in his state he will consider it an act of war and it will be akin to temporarily pouring gasoline on the fire.

Thank you for replying. We are playing a gig together today and being able to check in with you all here is keeping me from losing it very publicly.

abuse is abuse.

I recommend the Lundy Bancroft book "Inside the minds of controlling men"

What an eye opener!!!!!!!

sunrise -- I totally understand that sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do. That is, I hear you... feeling like you're cracking up... having to stay the course for now... feeling like no one gets it.

I think I get it. I'll keep checking on you here. Please private message me as well if that will help.

Very good luck to you --
sam

postscript: go ahead and lose it here with me, rather than publicly. I will take care of you -- the court of public opinion might not be so kind.

And then let's work out a strategy for what to do next, OK?

I'm in an impossible situation, too... and I think there are more creative answers we can devise.

best --

what has he said about your decision not to drink? I think some partners get upset about losing their drinking buddy.

Absue of any kind shouldnt be tolerated. I dished out plenty in my drinking days and I have to forever live with that.
