My story is long but the good news is I feel like I belong at this point now....
After almost 2 yrs apart my H has returned home....he has recommited to our marriage....we have a lot of work to do together....he has a lot of issues to face on his own....he has finally realized that him and alcohol are not a good combo and for now has said he won't drink anymore.....I have told him if he ever got drunk again that I would have to ask him to leave and get help on his own....I won't do that to my children or myself again...he has no idea how ugly he gets because he can't remember anything the next day....
He is still looking for a job....he got some money from another job source of his but it isn't reliable....he did give me the money....not enough to cover the lack of support over the past year and the debt he left me with but it is a start....
This is a tough road but I am willing to keep working on it....I like who I am now....and I am beginning to like who he is again....and vice versa.....
so....that is us in a nut shell....I will post when I can and I will respond as needed....thank you in advance for any advice and support that you will be lending me....
Hi, I pray that you find strenth and not discourage because as I"m finding out now the work isnt done yet on our parts, the LBS. There will be days when you 'll think "why did I allow him back?" so hang on, it isn't supposed to be easy.
Past hurts will come to hunt you down, work hard at forgiveness, resentment shows through, even if you dont' say it outright your attitude and the way you say things might betray you. So keep up the good work)))))
Be not afraid...I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten Joel2
