It doesn't matter so much as what he does about what you said, as the fact that you were able to voice your thoughts on the situation in a healthy way.
He may or may not change ~ that's in his garden of self ~
The great miracle in this matter is that YOU have already changed for the better just by doing things differently.
That is why we say ~ "that it is possible for us to find contentment and even happiness, whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not"

I don't think people should lie....about anything. So that urks me! But as quickly as the feeling comes along it usually goes away. Do my feelings get hurt from time to time...yes, I am human. I am in charge of my own feelings and I can't allow what my AH may say (or anyone else) put me in an unhappy spot....and if it happens I pull myself right back up!
There is no point in going thru life being miserable. There are to many wonderful things to experience!
Bunnies!

Lying in therapy just means they're nowhere near accepting responsibility for themselves and recovering. Hence it being a huge waste of time. My AM lied through three rehab trips, but she managed to convince the therapist she was telling God's honest truth. It was a nightmare.

We have only had a few sessions and this is the first time the alcohol issue was addressed. Surprisingly, it was not our initial reasoning for therapy.
