Thank you Brook, I'm really trying to focus on MYSELF. It's helped a ton!
heartbrokeinsd- wow, how can I sum up al anon. Well first, your wife should go to 6 mtgs before she writes them off and different locations. Each meeting is different.
Will she hate you? It's part of her recovery. It's for HER to help herself. As you work through the steps, there are moments you feel a lot of anger but as you keep going you learn to forgive and turn the focus back on yourself.
Also, H has been depressed for just about a year and I can finally see him happy. He listens to other ppl talk about their regrets and it helps him heal and he's going to individual counseling.
I suggest you keep working your 12steps. She needs to see your changes for 8 months (yrs you've been married) for her to believe they are REAL!
I'm going on 4 months (5yrs together) and I pray that by the end of the 5th month (July) 1) I will be a better person and a better mom and 2) H n I will be closer to R...
