Quote: Lil: But when the day came when I knew I couldn't take it anymore, it was easy. Heather, you haven't reached that point yet.
Heather:I sure wish I was at that point. I *want* to leave H.
If you think I am telling you to leave him, then you have truly allowed Burdbug's comments to make you filter out the good of what I've been saying and hear something completely distorted and different.
When I said "when the day came that I knew I couldn't take it anymore, it was easy," I MEANT that at that moment I knew I couldn't take his DRINKING anymore, so I told him with conviction I had lacked up to that point, "I will not be under the same roof with you and alcohol any more." THAT'S what I meant about it being easy. Once I was sure of what I could tolerate and what I could not tolerate, it was easy to STATE it. I never left him; we're still together.
