Just thought it was time for an update on my thread. Mostly because I need to let out some of my feelings.
ExH has been gone since Mid March. He came back over Easter Weekend and saw the girls for 36 hours. He calls rarely, maybe once a week. I have started to make the girls call him more often to help keep them connected. I know its important for girls to have strong connections with their dads.
Thats been hard since the girls are rarely interested in talking to him because he is so disconnected from their lives, so I have to act like its so fun & great to talk to him when its totally not.
It has really begun to soak in for me that not only is my exH a workaholic but he is a high functioning and successful Alcoholic. He does not look like an alcoholic that you see sleeping on the street but he is an alcoholic just the same.
I sometimes worry for my girls if he is going to accidentally kill himself. Either drunk driving or something.
I know from Alanon that my exH will continue to head down hill.
This weekend I was a little concerned because he hadn't called in over a week or picked up the phone when the girls called. He finally called this morning and introduced the girls to his new dog. Which I guess he bought in the city he is living in until August and then will move back to NY with the dog?? He also told the girls that they would meet the dog named Bobby Brown, this memorial day weekend when he is back in NY.
He is manic. He doesn't have time for kids but he has time for a dog??
Who is this person
The girls and I are doing great and having a wonderful spring. I am so so blessed and happy.
