I remember when I found this board....in Oct 05, I was devastated. I perhaps may have thot that with a little bit of knowledge I stumbled around and found here, and the super fast trip to B&N to get the DB Book....that I could bring him home ASAP I guess, in the beginning we are all hoping that there is a miracle cure. I takes awhile to realize just how deep this goes.
I also ate crap,listened to his venting, I have cried, I have swallowed my pride AND eventually, I stood up for myself.
But yet, after 20 long months I still find myself searching and reading....gaining knowledge. I see my H pop his head out occasionally, but then it pops back in just as fast. So I read trying to find an answer to what made it pop back in so quickly?
Every single damn time I see a movement towards my ultimate goal...an outsider steps in. They throw words at him, filling his mind with negatives.....when I speak to him, I TRY and fill it with positives. But how can one compete if they are not given the chance? How can one compete with a g/f who apparently is accepted into the family fold? He's hispanic.....and to be cast out of a family means NO ONE speaks to you. NO ONE! I'm so damn proub of BND's husband I could just SPIT! I pray that mine would wake up and see......hell, I want nevermind.
I dunno Amy....I'm trying to understand what you mean by not being a doormat and yet dying to self. How many deaths do we die before we find our balance?
I'm still standing....he knowes this. I have not given up. He knowes that. I am not leaving the state of FL even tho I have NO ONE here cept my adult son. A smart person would move back towards their family where housing is more economical. I'm choosing to stay here. Why? Because I hope oneday to get the chance.......thats it, just a chance.
I'm not even sure why I'm posting this.. But I'm going to assume that it's cuz I've been up since 5am trying to find my way to that unique place! And damnit!, where is it??
Sorry to hijack....but I had a good excuse
Smooches Amy
