Books and materials? No way; he wouldn't read them. He's perfect, you see. I'm not kidding; his mother brought him up to believe that he's perfect so if anything is wrong, it has to be me!
Weekends are very hard. I get so resentful at times. My sobriety group broke up so I don't have them to vent to, but I'm handling it o.k. Maybe it's because it's spring and I've just been editing a wine guide that has driven me to the edge. If I see one more glass of wine in print, or watch someone simply sip one glass, I'm going to explode.
If they go to a vodka guide, I'm off the deep end.
The only way I truly get my husband's attention is if I relapse, and he is filled with remorse and promises (but very judgmental on me) but they never last. It's a very tough situation to deal with. I wish I had a husband who didn't drink, but I do, and I have to deal with it. I've been told often enough by my group that it's my problem to deal with, but when it's shoved in your face almost every day, it's hard to resist.
sorry to be so pessimistic,
love,
antigua
