Job,
Thank you. I guess I needed the reassurance that yes H was down and out and that is why H sent those.
I will not mention them or contact him today. I don't sit and wait for him to contact me either. When I do see his name pop up on my phone I freak out. It's such a whirlwind with his drinking that adds fuel to the fire.
Detaching is the hardest part as I know he needs help for the alcoholism. I'm trying with Al-anon and I'm going to attend an AA meeting for me to learn how more to deal with my H, the alcoholic. And working on the a support system for that situation. I am gaining more and more support from here regarding how to handle me and H moving out.
I am trying to find friends that are in the same predicament. To support and encourage. I'm afraid I may have to stop talking/discussing this with family and current friends not involved directly ( besides being my friends).
Am I wrong to "cut out" friends and family in the way of this? No I won't stop seeing them just want to not talk about these things
