      From Katt1970 November 6

      Thank you Vicky! You nailed it when you described the hating, screaming, and crying. That is where I am right now. I cry over every little thing! It is awful!
      I should have started counseling right away, but I thought I could handle it. I thought I was strong enough to deal and move on...because I managed some how the first time. I think in truth, I didn't deal with it the first time, I just blocked it out. This last time...I just feel alone and depressed most of the time.

      Some days I feel good and think I'm going to be okay. Then something will happen and I will plummet down to the bottom again. I have got to get some help. I just wanted to wait until after the holidays because I will have vacation time and sick pay that I can use for visits. Right now, I'm scrapping every penny I got just to keep my head above water. I feel kind of damned if I do and damned if I don't.

      You seem so strong! Your support means so much to me. I've kind of been out of the loop the last few weeks due to long work hours and internet problems, so I don't really know what is going on with all me DS friends, but I plan on catching up!

      By the way, I'm almost done with the last Breaking Dawn. I just adore Jacob!

      Hugs!
      Cristi

      Thanks for the kind words of support. Things do get to me sometimes and I am glad that I have a place to vent.

      From Scout1 October 15

      Thanks for the advice. It's so hard. Today he emailed me that he removed himself from our joint bank account (meaning that now, I'm probably going to have to pay the mortgage all by myself....and I am not even living in that house). Well, maybe that will make the eventual split easier.

      Hugs, Scout

    • Moment of Peace

      From Katt1970 October 3

      Thanks for your comments on my journal entry regarding my ex's possible release. I'm very anxious. I feel much safer mentally and physically knowing he's behind bars...where he should be. I feel violated yet again, as the PA's office has not contacted me, so I'm left to the wolves. I'm not going to let my fear cripple me though, because if I do...then he wins. I'm stronger than that...I know I am. I just have to put it to use.

      I hope you're doing okay and that things are looking up for you.

      Big hugs!
      Katt

    • Close Alcoholism

      I am trying to deal with my feelings and emotions after living with my alcoholic husband. We have recently separated. He has refused to seek treatment and treats the problem casual or denies it's seriousness. We have one child and I don't want to raise him in a stressful household where he would have to deal with every disappoinment, the drinking aftermath and broken promises. It's too much for me. I can't allow my son to go through it ; he's only 2.5.

      Treatments

      Al-Anon Working / Worked
      I went to one meeting. I haven't gone back and I am not sure it would benefit me so much besides the fact that I can possibly make some friends that will understand. I am still quite mad and don't agree with some of the things. I am definately struggling.. I don't know yet
      Willpower Working / Worked
      I have really worked on keeping my mouth shut and not calling my husband for anything unimportant. I realize the sooner I set boundries out the better.
    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      Treatments

      Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
      Seeing a therapist every week to help me with the difficult changes I needed to make years ago.
      Divorce Working / Worked
      Filing for divorce has been a strange feeling. I cried the whole week before that. I new there was no way around it, because my life with him so far has been getting worse. I am powerless against the alcohol and its affects. I just have to get away from this situation. Divorce works for me.
      Leave Working / Worked
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking to co-worker friends has helped me eliviate the pressure.
