For the Guy with Kids and a WW 23

[hopeful4her]

My addiction is a bitch.

Hey, I think I can say that figuratively and literally.

Caught dinner with my brother on Monday, Beej.

I don't talk much about him or my sister. He's got a lot of emotional issues and blames our homelife growing up for his current problems as well as his current alcoholism.

I think he's finally ready to face his demon and I let him know that I was there for him if he needed me.

Lets see. Number one is out... at least for now.

Number three sounds like my current deal.

Number two, I keep starting and stopping, starting and stopping, right?

Question for you, beej. You said that when you felt like your H was angry or mad at you, that made you try to engage him to get back to friendly. To make yourself feel better.

Is that what should be portrayed? Or nothing at all? Like I just couldn't care less about anything. Because, thats what I try to do in person when I DO see her. Non-chalant and moving on kind of attitude. My emails may be all nice and fuzzy to her, but in person, completely different deal. I stay quiet, don't really ask her much of anything and just put my focus on the kids.

Like two different persona's. I don't think that I really email her or contact her much at all. At least it doesn't feel like it. It's been when she engages me that I give a response.

From the outside, I must really SEEM crazy.
