Thanks For the Advice you were all Spot On IM Outa Here!

I just wanted to thank you all!
With out this forum I would have gone slowly mad.

I was told on here to get out sooner, and I wanted to do the right thing and help the EXABF out by staying on to help with the lease even though we haven't been together since Nov. Impossible...

In a house that is 3000 square feet inst vast enough to escape his negativity and all that goes with it. Drinking even more now as I was told this functioning alcoholic is getting tanked almost every night now, going into work late if at all.

Verbally attacks me any chance he can get, luckily my esteem is doing well, so I just consider the source. Time for me to be free and happy!

My plan was to stay till Oct. Not gonna happen I value my sanity more.
And dont feel the need to have to help him let his family.

Ive logged in enough hours on this job.

Going outa town next week for 2 weeks then coming back most of my stuff is packed but will move it as soon as its packed.
Oh Happy Day!

Cant change them,,, great words...
Didn't cause this...
the last?
Thanks all :

Great--glad to hear it! Yeah, I know, people tell us what will happen, but it's true that most of us have to be convinced for ourselves--that was definitely true for me.

Enjoy your two weeks out of town, and hope the rest of the move goes reasonably smoothly.

Thanks all :
The 3 C's:

I didn't Cause it
I can't Control it
I won't Cure it

It took me a while to wrap my head around that concept! It was liberating when I finally learned to give the addiction to the adult with the issue and for me to stop trying to *fix* it for him.

Thanks for sharing your update! I am happy for you!

It was a good plan in theory. In reality, impossible! Wise choice to leave now.

Keep on keepin on!

Congratulations on your progress. Sounds like you've reached the point of acceptance that the present situation is intolerable and you are completely powerless over it. You're a power of example!
