I agree with the perception thing. The problem was that W didn't perceive my actions the way i intended. Actually there is no wonder.
Being in the throws of alcoholism it is hard to show love, respect, passion etc ... when one is looking out for themselves. It wasn't that I didn't love her it was that I loved filling me first. This was very hard on her. It is odd though with the abscence of the liquer she is saying things like, wow its about time, why didn't you do that before, how come you love me now.
Not sure how to respond I just told her the truth. I always did love you, i just loved the liquer demon more. I was out of control.
I am glad things seem to be looking up andy. The even slower thing scares me because im sure that lies in the future. GULP!
