Thanks job. For some reason your comment 'see/treat him as a roommate' really struck me. Yesterday when I put that thought into action it really helped me keep my cool and PMA together. When I started treating him as if he were someone I was rooming with I could see him more as a friend that I would treat better. Don't know why that clicked, but THANK YOU.

Heather, thank you so much for the added support. I can't imagine adding drugs and partying into the mix of all this. Ick.

Well, he may be the tan man right now and appearing to be happy, but that is all the character of him and not the soul. To me those things are not real and only surface happy stuff. Obviously your H is still trying to figure out what makes him happy and he is still looking at outside sources and not within himself yet. I've read your posts and you are an amazingly strong person.

Cadet, thank you so much for your additional resources. I have been over in Newcomer's so I have seen these and read them over and over and over again. Thank you.
