sunny day
Spent yesterday with one of my best friends just lounging in her pool having girl talk and working on our tan for florida - she's getting married in 3 weeks! It was nice and she's noticed how good I feel - I feel so different and at peace it amazing. But I needed to get out of the house for awhile. My husband was on edge, working on a car that just keeps breaking down and his father stayed over as he has been doing like every other week because he's lonely. They have never been close. His dad is a sober alcoholic so you know what all comes with that. And since his mom died he is forced into being close to his dad and it just brings up old junk - I can understand that! So I thought it was best that I get out for awhile - because we were snippy with each other and I didn't want to say anything we'd regret. His best friend is out of town but I think he just needed to be by himself for awhile. So after an afternoon break - he had calmed down and we went out for awhile. I wish I could do more to help him but all I can do is be there and listen - and sometimes just get out of his way! LOL

As you may have been able to determine from many of my comments...I do understand the disease of alcoholsim all to well. You are doing to right thing...detachement with love. Sometimes the only loving way to detach to to leave! Sounds like you had a very pleasant afternoon with your friend and those are often the best days! Have a great week.
