update on me....

[ez]

i'd like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all who responded to my post the other day. I saw the doctor yesterday, my delivery hospital is full, but they can fit me in at 5:00 Thurs for induction. My husband never apologized to me yesterday, which I wouldn't expect, but he was clearly very remorseful and on his best behavior. I do think after the baby comes, after things settle down, I will definitely going to an alanon meeting. I never realized they were a place family members could get insight and support, I'm sure I would benefit from that. I realized after reading your posts that I've been putting up with stuff that is unacceptable, deeming it normal or acceptable when its not, and then even second guessing or blaming myself for it. That is really no way to live life. My husband would be a very hard nut to crack, because he is so in denial that he has a problem. But he does have good qualities, and its not at the point where I would bail on him or anything, but I realize ignoring it is not the way to go either. His family has many alcoholics in it, can that run in families?
Anyway, I am trying to gear up for my upcoming delivery. For those of you who don't know, I have a DS 20, DD10, and DSS25 who has ababy 7 months. So this will all be very interesting.
Some of you commented that I might feel remorse over sharing something so personal with so many people. To the contrary, I feel so much better for it. Thanks again, friends!

Yes, alcoholism can run in families.

I hope you can help him realize what he's doing and get some help for himself. That is not easy.

Glad to get an update. Wow...what a range in kids' ages! Hope the delivery goes well.

I hope you have a safe delivery and that everything else works out.

If you go to one Alanon meeting and don't feel like you fit in, try another. You don't always find the best fit the first time around.

Good to hear from you! Induction must sound pretty good at this point! I'll keep "good thoughts" for you that everything goes smoothly. Concentrate on this baby for now.

I'm glad you shared. Sometimes only an anonymous, unbiased opinion will do.

Wishing you the best and sending blessings for a safe delivery.

The one thing I love about sharing our lives here is that good or bad, we're always here for each other.
And in sharing what we're going through, we might be helping someone else.

Ez, I'm very glad to hear this update.

Hi EZ,

PM sent.

ez: glad to hear the update. I didn't post on your original thread, but read the whole thing and then prayed for you and your situation. I am glad you're set for induction soon. I will continue to pray, but glad you are taking a proactive stance on your husband's drinking.

Thanks for the update. I have been thinking about and praying for you.

On a silly note: do you plan to keep having a child every 10 years?

Sending good thoughts your way!

Again, ez, good wishes, my best.
