WAS left, focusing on me, DB'ing like an amateur

[KdogGS]

Been an emotionally charged day so far. Had a good AA meeting and headed to church. I didn't think the message would apply much to me reading through the bulletin but boy was I wrong. I was sobbing quietly as the pastor spoke about honoring and obeying your parents when you're a child. But when you become an adult, you still honor them for life but you sometimes have to disobey.

The marriage is when you start a new family and you have to break away from your parents. The pastor also cautioned parents of adult married children not to intervene and meddle in the affairs of their married children's lives. That could not describe more what happened once her parents heard the word alcoholic, even though I wasn't drinking anymore. They positioned themselves between us. The pastor was speaking right about what happened to us. I know I did things wrong, but I couldn't have thought this applied more to our situation if he had called me out by name.

I approached him after the service and broke down thanking him for giving that message. During his sermon, he said "it's good that you listen to this today, because I probably wont say it again for 10 years." I told him after the service that I hope for other couples sakes that he says it much more often than that. He prayed with me and I left feeling a bit better. It's been an emotional morning.

Time to work out and get busy to clear my head.
