Thanks Kind
I don’t know if I’m really strong but I’m getting there. Had a good IC session today too whereby she pointed out some things to me that really helped. I wouldn’t say I turned things around in a short time it’s been the longest year of my life 8 months since BD ( and only discovered DR 4 months ago)
It’s been a slog. I am getting better at just treating H like an acquaintance. He dropped off kids after their weekend away and was hovering around looking like he wanted to be invited to stay, I just bid him goodbye and proceeded to prepare dinner. I am very much over playing fake happy families to fulfill his desire and need. He made a comment about wishing he could play some video games on the computer , I just said he should go out and buy one for his place so he can game as much as he wants( he’s not taking the computer it has a lot of my documents and family photos on it)
I am done having him sit around gaming right in front of my eyes. He’s actually become quite addicted to it the last few months a lot more than he ever was.I doubt that’s a MLC symptom but it’s extremely disconnected from the real world. Regardless I now hate it because it’s in our main living area I hate seeing him on it in my home.
The Pattnee boundaries are slowly building their walls 🧱 thanks to everyone’s help
And it feels good finally
