You do what you have to. Is throwing in the towel what you want to do?

What have you done for yourself?

The focus has to switch from your H to you and your kids.

You can't change his mind, help or fix him right now. You can help yourself though.

Again, detaching does not mean to stop loving or having hope. It is for you. It helps you to step back and quit getting sucked into your H's drama.

It doesn't matter whether your H is MLC or a WA, he is still running and using booze as his band-aids, and his spew are projections about how he really feels about himself. If something stings during one of those sessions, take a closer look at it. It may be something you may want to work on.

Take care.
