NYGal: hopeful? Not so much

[Painter]

And thank goodness ow drinks too much!!!Sorry but LMAO.that drives W crazy. We both had alcoholic parents.

This is true for H, OW, and me, too. OW drinks and had a father who was an angry, ranting alcoholic. H doesn't drink much with me around, but seems to go all out once he does, and would like to do it more, I think. His father was an angry, ranting alcoholic. I don't drink much at all, very, very rarely and very little. My father was a quiet, depressed alcoholic.

I wonder if W is talking about this in her IC? I've had a lot of therapy relating to my own situation.

As someone who reconciled not just once, I caution you to take it slow (and I know you know) and make sure that W is very, very certain about what she wants. And that this isn't swept under the rug.
