Elvis and I are sitting under the air conditioner. 
Doing well. I bought him some treats but I can't help but to give them all to him at once. The bag was mostly air. :-/. It is a small bag. He's a good boy. Goodnight. :

My mom and brother are wanting to fly out here next weekend to see Alex and me. They'll also meet Elvis for the first time. I haven't been communicating with them too much lately and they are concerned.

Notwithstanding whether or not you are a candidate for weight loss surgery -- it's none of his business what you do, period.
It sounds more like he was trying to insult you and hurt your feelings. That is sick.
For many people, when they drank, they put up with people whose behavior simply disgusts them as a sober person. I don't see you as a victim at all, Angie. I see you as someone who "woke up" in sobriety to the fact that she deserves better than she used to settle for!
Your ex doesn't deserve any space between your ears. The folks on the friends and family forum on SR have great advice on how they overcame abusive situations. They are incredibly supportive.
I hope you enjoy your visit with your family. Any chance you'd move back to the city where they live?

I apologized to my mom about not talking to her much. I let her know every morning that I was up and I would let her know when I got home from work so she wouldn't worry. I just wasn't talking much besides that. The sadness and loneliness had gotten to me. I miss my mom so much. Alex is good. He's spending the day with his dad and his grandma at the pool. I went over a couple hours ago to see him and give him a hug. He told me that he wants me to come over and have dinner with them all tonight and so he can show me his new game for the Wii u. It is okay with everyone so I'm going. Alex needs the adults in his life to get along and have no tension. I'll get him back tomorrow evening after work.

I can't help but think back of certain things that he has said to me. I was taking a minimum dose for depression and I had medication for anxiety. He told me one time that I was pathetic and at least he wasn't on medication. Who says that to someone trying to get better? I will probably need medication for the rest of my life and it has helped me so much.

I became an alcoholic because of my actions. I don't mean to put it on anyone else. I want to get better and enjoy life. I'm not drinking and j won't. I'm just watching Netflix and trying to work on my plan at the same time.
