I couldn't be happier. H is now the man I wanted him to be years ago. Why do I keep letting these things creep up and cause problems?
Hi Startingover2 I've never commented on your thread before; Plus, I've never been in a situation where there's been alcoholism. So please forgive if this is off base and accept my support and encouragement instead! My comment is this - your remarks reminded me of something I was listening to in the audio version of Melody Beattie's 'Codependent no more'... let me see if I can remember... she said that a lot of couples are surprised to find that once the alcoholism is dealt with, there are other problems that suddenly 'appear'. Not because they've never been there before, but because for so long they took a back seat to the alcoholism. Have you read that book? Does that sound like it might apply?
Take care, FMV.
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
