" and not have to be on pins and needles "

To go through your life living on pins and needles for whatever reason is desastrous for the mind as well as the body. You can do this for just so much time and then you go down yourself. You become emotionally a wreck and you desapear in the shadow of the other person.

I understand that your partner is sick but YOU matter too. You can support her but just to a certain degree. I hope I am not harsh here but I think she needs to do her share too.

Your life matter. Your feelings matter.

I wish I could help you out. I wish I could find the right words.

You are entitled to be angry

You are entitled to be tired

You are entitled to, after more than 10 years .... a life

You are entitled to take care of YOU .... and you are NOT being selfish

You are entitled to drop her at her dads

HE IS HER DAD......LET HIM BE A FATHER

Don't get me wrong WM, I've spoken to Donna, I have felt sorry for her .... PITY OVER ....... you are my friend ...... IMHO you have done enough ...... she is old enough to make her own decisions..... she choses this after everything you have done???????

Take her to her father........ live YOUR life ............

I love you, Kerry xoxoxoxoxoxoxxotightest hug in the world .......

sorry if this is a strong opinion, but i only have your happiness in mind here

I agree with Jinny...you are such a nice guy, and you are such a good person, but you have to live your own life too. Sometimes, people never change no matter how much we want them to do so.

Clyde ,, as I read your words a few times over ,,,, I had to conclude ,, the changing of another is as to their own mindset >> and Not that of anothers ,, no matter how we / or others ,, so wish .

But I never was a good guy ,, or person for so long ,, Until I was patching up the wounds and tenderly treating the soul >>. to revive the spirit ....

then to only feel the sting of indifferance >.. that so many seem to be as common place as a winter flu or a summer cold .

Thank You Clyde ... ya have a way of achieveing another to see again the worth of their being . Thank You .

Dear I_W MD,

I have so many good feelings about you and your future.

I am so glad you do not give up on your survival, even in the midst of this self-destructive scene developing around you.

We know that a drowning person will reach out and grab anyones arm, and grab ahold of it - to try and stay afloat.

This may be happening, only the drinking is destroying any rescue attempts. I know this and you do too.

The problem is that a person might take the outsretched arm and pull the person attached down with them, and drown them both, yes?

Then is it better to release the hold - especially if it is going to destroy two people?

Ii is really sad about her family, and how they won't appreciate all you have done - and will not take this burden from you - even for a week!
It says alot about the characters involved here, doesn't it?

I might get a babysitter from the outside, (not these relationships), through an agency, and just get out from under to clear your head and help yourself breathe and figure out a few things for your own life.

You can do this for yourself. You are alive and need to recharge or release.

You owe it to yourself because you are a special, good, loyal, devoted person who needs to build himself up and if that means releasing the hold to others, do it ... do it w md.

You are worth it!

Love,
Night
Thanks for this!

I have beleagured this topic looooooooooong enough...

This will be last post here except to acknowledge support .

First I must say I am so gratefull for all that have posted here to help me maintain my sanity as I relate it to my selfworth .
_______________________________________________________________
Much LOVE in the truest way as cyber can be used to show and feel .
_______________________________________________________________

My warmest affection !

So after a release from de tox of about a week >>> this person I would watch do harm to herself >> and still care about as if they were but a wounded animal that allowed me to care for till they were better enough to walk sturdy and strong again on their own ..... for the last 2 days has just felt they are ,, or have no blame to admit to for their short comings ,,, Is drinking again .

So as true to myself as I would never not go one more round to help ... I asked all the why questions ,, why go through all this that I have previously posted here .

Why believe all others are to blame ??? This peep will continue on their spiral down ,, and I told them >> It will not be while I watch .. And with the evil look that anyone that has dealt with a self absorbed take no responsibility for their own actions alchoholic knows ... Not a kind look at all ......... I said I will go and make a new life for myself ..

THE END .
