A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[Dia]

And here's the scoop on the changes:

I asked for:

1) Stop drinking and deal with stuff underlying the alcohol issue.

2) More housework.

3) Spend more time with me and kidlet. We're feeling utterly neglected and unwanted.

I got:

1) He stopped drinking, but with poor grace and denial of an underlying problem. ("If I can stop drinking for a week, then I can't be an alcoholic.") I was and am currently satisfied with the state of the alcohol sitch. (Though if he'd read the Big Book, that line is in it word for word.)

2) He did more housework, though again, with poor grace. I was and am currently satisfied with the housework.

3) Not so much, but I was willing to work harder on this one given how hurt and scared we both were.
