Do you know what I am talking about?
The humiliation that a self centered addict can cause. Especially when you feel responsible for that person. Kind of like you are the mother instead of the wife?
Yeah?
Once, 6 or 7 years ago, we were in a restaurant with my mother in law and her husband. (I know, that's a doozy of a start....heaven help me.) My husband was high out of his mind. So much so, that the waiter was concerned he was having a stroke.
My husband, through slurred, stumbling speech, came up with an excuse. What, do you wonder was the excuse? A sinus infection. I about died.
Is it just me, or does your loved one choose the most inopportune times to have a little vacation from reality? Like at your parents house.
Have you ever been talked into going to the ER? Only to have everyone look at you like you are an enabler? Or worse? Have you screamed in a blind fury "I will never take you to the ER again!"
I did.
Today.

Bless your heart! This makes me cry!! I have been married to an addict (pornography & gambling) for over 9 years. Being married to an addict is lonley and we feel so alone! You are in my thoughts and prayers. I have struggled to keep up our blog as well.
