Quote: The amount of effort and energy it takes from me is huge. It takes so much mental strength to tiptoe yourself in a 'good' talk, to avoid all the landmines, to heep smiling, to keep being possitive while you get doom, negativity and abandonement thrown at you.
Wow, nicely stated.
Lou-Your words are wise and I always find myself reading posts where you have given advice. About the alcohol thing...it's never been a prob. H hardly EVER drinks...which is a blessing having grown up with an alcoholic father. We drink occaisionally and mostly when we are "celebrating" something.
Is it me or do you feel like you are the only one ever talking? I try so hard to get H to talk...I know there must be things that he is lacking, that I can change for him.
