You know, Maybell. I just had a thought. I spent the first 35 years of my life wishing my parents would be different kinds of people. It caused me so much heartache and wasted so much energy, because of course I cannot control them any more than I can control the weather.
I don't want to spend the next 35 years wishing the same thing about the man I chose to marry, when I was unhealthy and didn't love myself enough.
Your H is who he is. If he chooses to do the work to change, fabulous! Definitely for him and your kids, maybe for you. If he doesn't... eventually you will have to come to terms with it, for you and for your kids. That suxx, I know. ((hugs)) to you.
