I owe him!

I owe him! That"s what he said the other night, when he was asking , again, why I kicked him out. Hmm, let me count the ways:
spent $ 100 a day on cocaine
used cocaine in the house 50 feet away from our sleeping children
didn't pay the mortgage
forclosure actions TWO times
said his nosebleeds from cocaine were from " mold and mildew" in office
nursed a drink, sat on his a** and tuned me out watching tv
bought anything he ever wanted
never bought anything for me
lied about anything, even when he didn't need to
constantly wrote bad checks - at $35 per check! (see above for toys)
was never on time or early for anything, never was reliable or dependable
has promised out daughter, who leaving for college on Friday, to buy her a computer and books, but I paid his power bill 15 minutes before disconnection. (I know I shouldn't have, but d*mmit, it felt so good for him to ask/beg me and I had the money to do it. Oh yeah , I wrote the check for his account and paid it in person!More documents for court)


Well, you probably get the idea. What do you owe your A?

The only thing I personally feel I "owe" my AH is the respect to get out of his way and allow him to drink himself to death. His choice, his consequences.

You don't owe him anything. But you owe yourself something: the peace of mind that comes with ending all contact with him. Why not give it a try?

I owe my A my eternal gratitude. It was because of him and the craziness that was our life together that I found Al Anon and my own program of recovery.

At the height of our insanity, he turned nearly every conversation around so that it was all about me, and so I would be on the DEfensive. If the focus was on me, then it clearly wasn't on the issue at hand... that big pink elephant in the living room.

Keep coming back. We're here.

The only person you owe anything to is: You

Keep posting it will help.

I owe my XAH nothing.....nothing at all - not even a thought. What he did to us and our family was nothing short of disgusting and wrong. Alcohol or no alcohol. I used to want revenge but thats not mine to be had. Ditto to what Prod said up above. If I have to name something it would be what Prod said and nothing more.

I've heard the "you owe me" bs on a regular basis from as and ad. Also the "you never did anything for me" garbage.

Seeing as I have been doing EVERYTHING...I owe nothing.

He does not see it that way...He does everything and he gets no appreciation either! HA HA HA HA HA.....OMG, that is just too funny at this point. He can't even remember the pin # for his own card!!!!!!!
