Yup. Nothin' like a crazy mom and an angry alcoholic dad to bring your mood down if you're a kid. :-)
No thanks.
My ex thinks the devil took him over. Sigh. AA says he's "riding the pink cloud" and that reality will come crashing down soon enough.
I'll be here on my stable little island to watch and offer support as a friend in the best way I can.
I love him dearly.
But I love me more.
I think that is what I've really learned from this.
Thanks EVERYONE for your supportive words and encouragement.

Yeah thats denial, he has the ability to tell the devil to go take a hike, and see him for the worm he is. Till he takes the blame his devil will own him

It's always easier to blame someone/something else than to accept responsibility for ourselves. Gad to hear you're seeing through it.
Enacting life's lessons into positive change... .

I'm glad I can come here and get your perspectives. I still catch myself wanting to just buy what he says when he says things like that. It's what he's used to...it's what I was used to. But now, I really do think things over, talk to others, and make sure I'm seeing reality for what it is.
