GLBT Rainbow Trauma Recovery Community Group
A safe place to share with other glbt folks about trauma experiences and get support without ridicule of being different
HI!!
Im new to this site ( literally 15 mins. lol) The reason why I'm on here is to honestly... have someone to talk to about whats going on in my life.. it sounds sad i know but its true. I've been married to my wife for a few years and things are bad.. really bad.. i've lost lots of friends because of her (she has a drinking problem) so calling up a friend is not an option. I've been dealing with a lot of things and I just need a way to vent and even just get a chance to be normal. interact with others and not be wrapped up in my mess. I'm probably not explaining everything so well cause I am scared of what to say. Its very easy to judge my life.. i've dealt with it.. but Id like to be able to talk to others who can understand and just be there... ya know..
if anyone has any advice of what sites are good, how can I connect with people like me online.. any advice is welcomed!! :)

being in a relationship with someone who has a "drinking problem" can be challenging and even unhealthy...it is why groups like codependents anonymous and al anon were created, you may want to begin there.
one thing i learned from going to way to many 12 step meetings is that when we are in unhealthy relationships...it is often because , we ourselves, are in an unhealthy place. If we decide to get better and work on ourselves, our partner will often become upset because they want the old, unhealthy person and relationship...
u have taken the first step already so please don't be afraid..proud of u and hope u find the support and guidance to deal with your life stressors...keep posting, take care
i understand about the drinking problem. not an easy thing to work with, i know.
i am woking on myself, getting back to a more normal state, gonna take a while for me, but, i have hope.
