I am heading off to work shortly but I am going to try and check in from there. Cell is spotty though.

You know the reason why I started Campral three weeks ago? I went to work on a Tuesday and was still drunk from the night before. Horrifying. Glad I am making those days a thing of the past.

The Bug will be back soon. The mods can start censoring my crazy again very soon!

I must have saw the wrong thread, but some of the posts I saw from bug last week were a little less than flattering. You sound much better now.

LB, I find writing very therapeutic, so if it helps you, I say write all you can and want.

Yeah, I have a warped sense of humor. But for the most part I am upbeat and positive. That is what i mean.

I was driving, couldn't respond properly. I like to write out things to get perspective or to ubderstand myself or to communicate with others. Right now I need to be accountable and by writing everything out here for everyone to see I can achieve that.

Omg. I am walking on eggshells here. Every single thing I do is wrong or is pissing my husband off. My mere existence is pissing him off.

Congrats on day 5

Can you manage to do your own thing and stay out of each others way?

I think we have settled things for tonight. It is quiet now. We are watching a movie calmly. Sigh. It is going to be so hard to fix this.

I can imagine it's going to take some time for him as well to calm about things. One day at a time .. And hopefully you can get to a pint of calm conversations about how you are both feeling about everything.

Yeah. But I can't help feeling hurt when he shames me.

That's totally understandable. And those are the things you both need to be able to calmly talk about as it becomes less raw. Use SR for the support you need in the meantime - he is hurt right now as well and may not be able to give you some of the support you need.

I had to explain to my husband that his method of being supportive wasn't what I needed.

Going to work, carpooling with the husband. We work for the same company. Yet another place he can give me the cold shoulder and evil eye.

Carpooling because one of my triggers is the CVS right around the corner from the kid's school. I would pick up wine and then pick them up and then go home and drink it all before dinner. Can't stop at CVS if I am not driving. It is extra help I need. He is still being supportive even though we are on such a rocky path.

Have a good day everyone
