MIL called me early this am and asked if she could come and get clothes and personals. Supposedly WW alcoholic will be in treatment program within 48 hours.

Heard this before.
Sherriff called and WW used her one free trip into the house for 1/2 hour to get her personals and such. FIL & DD also were present. FIL dropped her off at a treatment Program in our city. Car is parked at his house.
The program is in patient. The first 23 days there is no leaving the facility except for court or medical reasons. The next 22 days are sober housing and counseling. More like an outpatient program with sober housing. To stay in the program you are subject to their rules and may be tested any time for alcohol or drugs.
Had I/C yesterday. Counselor was very adament about keeping the court appt. on july 5th. Rehearse all the lines (reasons to be granted permanent OFP) from a written script 10 X's before tuesday. Weekend homework.
We talked about the feeling I have that I describe as "landing on my feet". For close to 30 years all I have tried to do was provide the best way possible for my family and have small slice of what I like to think is the good life.
That dream now has changed and I am not sure through out all this turmoil what gets put back into my life to make up whats known to me as nESRE. I am a bit lost and running on auto pilot.
As the alchoholic WW has gotten sicker along the way I pulled more and more slack with responsibilities and financially. Now at this point I know I have to depend on nESRE totally. Overwhelmed with a to-do list.
I know I am not where I want to be. The house was bought as an investment knowing both incomes would be needed. I can make it on my income but I like to eat well and have fun. It is now a trigger of a past I am not sure I want to stay around. It did make me feel better 2 different neighbors at 2 seperate times opened up to me and said please stay. We would like it if only
you would stay. Also the work associated with keeping the place up is not what I am intested in. When we were together we made a pretty good team and could hussle through the work pretty fast. Now its just getting done halffast. Say that last word 3 x's and you will catch on.
I/c suggested I try to find someone to come into the house and provide general cleaning once a week to help me out. She shot down the idea real quick if I should use Arnolds plan.
I feel relieved WW ended up where she is. I have no anomosity. I feel no reason for revenge or why is this happening to me (SELF PITY).
I cried a lot of tears when we were seperated the last two previous times. March to July 15 2010 & Jan to march 2011. Just couldn't watch the slow suicide event. I have
accepted the fact the M is over. My W will die from alcoholism should she continue drinking. I am powerless to cure, control, and I did not cause it any more than I caused her to have A's.
When I was on the bike a few weeks ago and I posted it here it was just like my eyes opened up to a new way of seeing life. One where I am going to do whats in my best intrest for me and my DD. The stages of greiving. I have been going through them even while being physically in the same house with my W.
We will see if this hits again at some point down the road. All the support I have had along the way has been a God Send. It probably means the most my FIL & MIL still support me and have a R even though all this. It has been extremely hard on them emotionally.
Strawberries are in prime picking right now and I have at least 3 gallons to clean when I get home tonight with probably another gallon ready to pick today?
DS,his GF, & another friend of mine are going to come out sat afternoon. Also see if brother and niece will come out. We are going to keep it simple. Cook on the grill and if the weather is hot play on the lake. If it is so so maybe fish. We will keep it open.
If anyone wants to stop in later in the day we will have a fire by the lake around dusk. All the fixins for smores will be there. Make sure to bring you own mosquito spray and folding chair. Coffee, pop and water will be provided. Fireworks will be somewhere around 10 pm give or take a half hour.
Pep-If you and Mr Pep want to stop I will personally make you the best smores you ever had in your life! I will even try to get the loons to sing for you. Their calling one another across the lake are beautiful to hear.
