I have been trying to do the active listening for quite a while now. I am sure its been more then a month. so does it mean its just another cycle? hmmmm.
I will continue to try to just make him feel suported, so he dosnt feel so alone. I was thinking a couple days ago of making myself less available to him... but perhaps that wouldnt be the best thing right now. He knows I am suportive, whenever things have been hard for him he has always thanked me for being so suportive and there for him. Even at times when all I wanted to do was run away.
My counselor says his behavior is just typical alcoholic behavior. I guess I just dont totally except that and want him to change. thats what I keep agonizing over, whether he can change, or I am just wasting my time and going through this for nothing but heartache.
