I've been reading Adult Children Of Alcoholics tonight...it does apply to other reasons for dysfunction...and it does apply to children of children of A's...and of course it applies to how all this is shaping my own children.
A lot to think about. It's just really really hard for people so affected to achieve emotional intimacy, even with help.
I've just felt frustrated to the point of tears today...I still feel like I can't talk to him about anything. We have these major crazy things happen and they are severe enough to break through and have a talk, but it doesn't mean anything. He goes back to the same stuff, I'm not "allowed" to say anything...then he's Mr Happy. I hate it. Tonight he's Mr Happy...I just want him to get away from me.
He's never going to be able to sustain the kind of changes I need without help he won't even discuss getting. Which leaves me, as always, back at square one.
