Mare, I am so relieved your talk went well. Well? what am I saying it went GREAT!! His admitting the problems sounds like the 1st big step toward fixing things. With my H his guilt had been holding him back, once he confessed to me, once it was all out in the open, a huge burden was lifted from his shoulders. He was able to have hope for us again. The guilt had been killing him and the fear of me finding out had been immobilizing him. I told him he had to show me he was sincere and he did. Just as your H is!!! YES!!! He has contacted the VA and he has admitted he has a problem, a problem that effects you. basicly he has acknowledged you are right in your concerns. Now WE knew you were right, but dosent it feel good to finally have him acknowledge it? Yes, you are just entering the woods, you have a long way to go, but you have finally began the journey HOME!!!
