You are to blame for everything and he had nothing to do with any of it.

He's still blaming so I guess not much has changed.

(Yes-I know I'm not to blame and that he's full of s**t and just gurgling alcoholic mumbo jumbo that doesn't make sense at all-it's what he's done for years). I read his message and asked my friend to pray for him. So we did bc I truly always have wanted the best for him.

Y'all that know my story, thoughts?

Translation:

"I am right, you are wrong!"

Possible alternative:

"I'm writing you a deep and insightful message but I'm so drunk I can't remember what I wanted to say, but hey, you're a mind reader so you should know. I mean, it's pretty clear what I meant to say even though I don't remember it myself, and if you don't get it you must not be very bright".

But anyway Fourourgirls the nice thing is you don't need to be bothered with it today because it really doesn't matter what he means.

Maybe it's a typo.... "your year to clame(claim)"
Did you ask him what he meant?

Interesting thought. Speaking as a codie in recovery, my answer would be "boundaries".

Learning awareness of where my responsibility ends and where everyone elses starts.

Wow, that is a good question! For me it was a cold-blooded rational approach to everything, and definitely ignoring my heart.

My ex can blame my brain cos I'm finally using it.

It sounds like he just quoted some song lyrics. That's a classic alcoholic past time. I know because I used to do it all the time.

He quotes anything-lyrics, my own words, etc. Not an original thought in his brain, bc he shares his brain with his mom and sister. Sad. But not my problem anymore!!!!
