Thanks so much for everyone responded. If I had to say who hit the mark the best, it was Coach. I'm seeing the dysfunction and I need to address it. The things is, when he is distressed I do want to fix it. Same thing with my son.

I have a good friend of mine that just left her H after 18 years of pure h*ll, drugs, drinking, womanizing, verbal abuse, total gaslighting, etc, etc. It really helps to talk with her. I listen a lot, more than talking actually.

I do have more work to do on me.

I spoke with him on my way home from class. I asked him to consider Retrovaille. (Not sure if it is spelled correctly.)

I told him it isn't M C, not really a M retreat and the focus is on communication. Don't give me a response right now. It isn't until October. Read the info online, consider it in a quiet moment and then let me know.

He said he would think it over. We'll see what happens. Regardless of what he decides, I am going back to work on me. Honestly, I am not anxious to touch the hot stove again. If I play my cards right I may even get to go fishing and use the 2 dozen worms in my fridge that are waiting for me today.
