Why am I so angry?!

so 2 weeks ago my fiancé decided to get help and enter into rehab for his drinking. I was releaved and everything was going good the first week. Then something in me shifted and I'm so angry all the time about everything. I keep thinking of all the bad stuff he did to me when he was drinking and how he is so distant. Our intamacy is nonexistent. I'm just so angry all the time and I take it out on everyone. I want to get some help but I don't know where to start. Even though he isn't drinking he is still hateful at times. Says things that bother me. I'm in a tug of war on to stay or go.

Go to Al Anon. Listen to others. Maybe talk to someone.

I get angry often too. I think is because I am depress.

I was married to an alcoholic who was in rehab many times. For me Al Anon was my life saver. Knowing that others were feeling the same way I was helped so much. Advice they gave me and finally the strength to leave someone who did not really want to give up the alcoholic ways. Alcoholism affects everyone, not just the person drinking. To get through it as a couple, it will take a lot of work. AA for him and Al Anon for you - that is my advice. Anger is a natural response - you will have so many emotions going through this, having others to talk to about these emotions will help. Good luck to you both.

I was going to suggest you to attend an Al Anon meeting. The above post tells you everything I was thinking to tell you. I agree with their suggestions.
