Wear out your welcome here?!
(Just where in the hell do you think you are, lady?)
This is safe place to pour it all out. If we got the boot for being
irritating around here---this duck would have a black and blue ass.
(In fact, most ducks DO...but this relates to the subject at hand NOT!)
That server crash of '95? That was the moderators trying a last ditch
effort to get rid of the duck (me!). It didn't work, just as a worldwide
effort to rid the world of similar pestilences hasn't worked. I've
gotten the boot to the back alley more times than I can count. I just
wait and waddle until it's time to take out the trash. There is a piece
of paper that says "DO NOT let duck back in"-----but let's face it---
taking the trash out is the last task of the shift and all a sensible
person wants is to do it and GO.
I am using humor (as I am wont to do) to reinforce the truth that we
understand here---more than you will ever know. That is the function of
this place. You are always welcome here. Just know you'll be bitched out
tomorrow if you forget to heed the sign!

Hello SorroW22,
My H was just an alcoholic. He kindled on Vodka on his last relapse which made him a mouthy, c-word loving critter and a nasty texter.
When he decided to head to rehab out of state no less, I left it up to him to get there. Eight weeks earlier I had begged him to go to a local rehab about 4 miles from our house & got burned with that whole saga.
There was ALL kinds of drama and threats about going/not going blah blah blah. I finally told the person who had volunteered to drive H to just drop H off at the airport if need be as he wasn't going to land home if he chickened out.
So you aren't alone in dealing with the getting TO rehab drama. It is so frustrating as you think they see some sense when they agree to GO, but then there's all this wishy-washy business ...
Stick on SR as much as you like. There are some really kind folks here and with the Australian and UK folks, there's almost always someone around.

That same attitude and treatment of you won't necessarily disappear after rehab. It might eliminate the chemical but that mindset or deep seeded emotions are another story. Don't excuse or blame all bad behavior on chemicals.
Sounds like like he feels entitled and takes you for granted which is common with many addicts since THEIR choices/addiction rule their lives where they spend much of their time looking for enablers or naive to help themselves.
