husband gets ill and says mean things
Most of the time he is supportive. Yesterday he just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Everything I did or said was wrong. He called me a pill head. I wasn't arguing with him it just came out of nowhere. How do you deal with that?
What do you mean he gets 'ill'? Sorry you're having trouble. I know when I first got sober, it was really eye opening when I realized the reality of my life as it was. I truly believe that it's a whole life change. Are you getting any support from meetings or a counselor?

Ugh! Men! (sorry men ),
Let's see women, what names have we been called? The 'B' word, ho, junkie, bad mother, stupid, ugly, loser, etc...... I think of it as jealousy, or as I tell my kid, "Hurtful comments usually indicate someone unhappy with themselves".

Shrug it off please, you are an intelligent and beautiful woman in our eyes

IMO it's verbal abuse! Please do not accept this kind of behavior. No matter what you've gone through....name calling is not acceptable. It's a way to take any self esteem you have and crush it. Also, its a form of control. Perhaps ,your hubby feels threatened that you are going to get better, and he will lose his power over you.
Best Wishes To You!!

Well put stacylove! Not offended on my end as a man. I said some very ignorant and hateful things when I was drinking and more so when I was hung over drunk!!! To add on to what staceylove said .....His comments do not define YOU.
You are trying to better yourself and your life and do not let other people influence what you know is right in your heart.
Stick around this is a great place.
