I really try not to allow him to treat me with the disrepect that he does when he is drinking. With my first husband it was different...there were 2 children involved. My X really did a number on my head. I too, went for counseling, alone. It did help to make ME see that it wasnt' ME at all...it was HIM who had the problem. I became (I thought) a strong person after I left him. They say that we tend to (divorcee's) gravitate to the same type person that we once had..I believe that is true. Eric was just recently diagnosed bi-polar and having a mood disorder. The meds he's on are helping him (now that the dose is correct) but, drinking while on the meds is NOT a good thing. I believe in my heart that God has a plan for me with eric...Maybe I will be the one to help him with this. Eric was 38 when we got married and it was his first. Being married to someone that has never been married before isn't easy...they are very set in their ways and want the best of both worlds...to be married and live as a single man..(not meaning other woman just coming and going and doing what HE wants WHEN he wants) kind of makes you all wonder how someone can be married to a person like this..I truly love him with all of my heart and he has broken it several times...I just pray he see's what he's doing and stops.
Thank you all for your responses
