[color=#800080][/color Well how do I start. Hmmmm...I guess I just have to spill it.

It seems like everytime I'm on everything in my life is going ok,but when I'm not that is when everything hits the fan.Ermm

I have a husband that is an alcholic and a narrcisist(sp). On Saturday night he came home again drunk which pissed me off. He was in a cocky mood. When I was pouring my milk he found it funny because of the fact that I was shaking so bad (side effect from meds) so instead of walking away I threw the milk on him and my floor. (not the glass). I know my life sounds like a soap, but I just need to get this out. He called the police who just told him to find a place to sober up. He left for 2 days. He is back now and we are kinda talking. I know I would have left but I am completly finacially dependent on him at the moment.

ok thats where I am. This whole thing has upset my mood and my sleeping pattern. Honestly I am not sure what's up anymore. I never thought I would want to take my evening meds before, but now I look foward to it.

Ok their it is there thanks for listening. I appriciate it so so much. Jeanne

Jeanne: It's Ok... we all get frustrated at times. (I've wanted to slap hubby so many times I couldn't count them all! And I'm not even BP, he is!). You sound like you have your hands VERY full. Take it easy on yourself. What you are going thru can't be easy, especially with your BP. Hang in there!

Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down"

It's probably even more difficult for you because from the sounds of him you are trying to manage your illness with no support from him at all. That is too bad. If you ever decide that you want to leave, you can do it. Never let money stand in the way of your happiness. I have lost every single thing I owned four times and had to start over. What that taught me is that one, it takes 3 weeks to accumulate 25 years worth of shit and two, I can survive just fine with very little.

hi, armymom-bejeweled is right. you're surviving with no help from him (other than perhaps financial) right now. i was married to a verbally abusive man for 10 years. i swear that every time he opened his mouth it made me feel worse, even if i was having an ok day. when i finally divorced him 3 years ago, i gave up everything. all i wanted was my kids. it hasn't been easy starting over, but it's better than putting up with his shit.

as far as throwing the milk-you go girl!! he needed something to sober him up and if milk is what you had in your hand, so be it. he's lucky you didn't throw it glass and all...lol. you are a really great person, jeanne, and i hate to hear about you suffering without support from the person who's supposed to be your best friend. don't be embarassed to talk to us about this. we care and we are your friends and we do support you.

with peace and love.

armymom - definitely don't be so hard on yourself!That sounds like a lot to handle!I no that I have never been in the position but I know that there is help out there for women that need to get away from abusive situations. No matter emotionally/physically. I've helped friends out & done research for them & learned things along the way. Hang in there!

I was serving my ex-husband dinner once. I had the salad in a zip lock bag on the table instead of a proper serving dish. We had an old friend over for dinner and she could have cared less. She is a Dominican nun. To make a long story short I emptied the bag of salad into his lap....he was an emotionally abusive pretentious ass. that is why he is my ex...and he used to drink too...

sorry you are going through this tough time, Jeanne

Well, I went out with a guy in my 20s that was a loser with a capital L.

If he made it until noon without being drunk that was a banner day. I had invited him over for dinner at 5pm. I made rigatoni, set the table, had everything all nice and pretty. When he arrived at 3am, I was rather preturbed. As he came thru the door, I threw the rigatoni first - that missed. Then, I threw the garlic bread and gallon of milk - this was across the livingroom mind you...Then I grabbed a can of diet pepsi - and all those years of softball practice paid off. I cracked him right in the mouth. As drunk as he was he felt it. Smile I am still proud of myself. And glad I dumped his dumb drunk ass.

bejeweled you crack me up! I don't know why I keep atrackting guys that are alkis. I know the past couple of days he has been feeling the shame. I guess his family has said some things to him also. Who knows, I know I can't stop him. We have been married for 10 years now and with each other for 11. I don't know I think I am just rambling now. I know what I should do, but it is a lot easier said than done. Jeanne
