Houston.......we have a problem!!!!
OK, LaLa is angry with me because I sought out support and advice secretly to deal with her addiction. She believes it was a breach of openness and honesty. I say that I needed the freaking help after all this time!!!!!!!! She was well aware of how I felt when I began counseling, she just didn't care that it was killing ME!!!!!!
I'm at a total loss...the tension finally lifts and right back to it we go....yeah.
Want2Stay Want, I am really sorry about all this. She is misusing the "openness and honesty" concept to hamper your ability to get help from others. The PORH and POJA do not apply in situations like this especially since she is still as wayward as she can be. Since I knew she would badger you to see your thread on the private board, I temporarily removed your sign in so you couldn't show her even if you wanted. Since she is so upset that you are getting help there I just removed that point of contention altogether.

W2S--
If you feel you cannot carry the burden any longer, you can stop. It is your choice if you do not want to anymore.
Alternatively, you can try once more and give Lala another chance if you wish. Insist on transparency, and so on.
One year becomes two, two years becomes five, five becomes ten and before you know it, you've wasted your whole life on a problem you can't solve. That's one way to spend your life. -rwinger
I will not spend my life this way.

I would take the time to get your personal recovery going. It's going to be tough being in the house with Res while she resists her own recovery. I feel for you....I remember the resistance I was up against, the remarks I got from the Z when he found out I was in Al-Anon, seeking support, cuz he didn't have a problem  It is nearly impossible to recover a healthy marriage right now, W2S. The alternative is to give up, or get help for yourself, and after some time has past, and some knowledge is gained, make decisions

W2S - have you found a 12 step anon group? I googled "Nar Anon Online meetings" and got a grundle of choices.
You need a NAR ANON sponsor who will get you focused on YOUR issues. Lala has to deal with her issues and the minute you start getting recovery for yourself, there will be challenges. Expect them. Duck your head and keep working. Don't lovebust. Just leave the room until she calms down.
You've trained her that hissy fits work. You have to untrain her for the sake of your children.
No excuses. Find a Nar Anon meeting and a sponsor tonight! Start working your steps. Stop worrying about hers. She's no longer your problem - she is now her own problem.

SL,
She deliberately cut me off from my support system. People that saved my sanity when I was on the brink of a nervous breakdown because she REFUSED TO HELP ME!!! Talk about cruel. I'm not sure what I want at this point...... I am so sorry to read what has happened W2S. This last part I am familiar with. It really is cruel. The only thing I was ever able to do was just go find another and be very quiet about it. There were not many available but there were friends to help me along the way. Better make a hard plan for yourself to keep your mind occupied and goal oriented. Again, I am sorry to see this happening to you.

I've had enough pain in the last 4 year to LAST ME 10 LIFETIMES!!!!!!! So much for love HUH??????? W2S I am so sorry for your pain. 3 yrs ago I wished I was in your situation and had a repentant WW. Your position highlights the extreme danger with attempting a R. At this stage of the game I would strongly advise you to divorce. I am so disgusted with her!

Thank heaven you are not him - that was not helpful to him personally or to his children.
Think before you post, please!
