Hi Molly sorry to hear you are having problems at home. If my wife acted like a control freak it would make me worse, just one more reason to drink. we all know we cant be forced to stop , the funny thing is when i was young i spent years shouting at a brother trying to get him to stop but i could never get it until i had a problem. your OH sounds the same. keep well MM

Good Monring Jumpers
Ready and set for an AF Sunday. I don't remember the last time I have had an AF weekend, might have been when I was preganant with my youngest who is 21, so this is a real milestone. Yeah to all of us.

Hello again guys!
Molly, so sorry to hear about your home situation, but it sounds like you're doing the right thing to focus on you right now. The rest will work itself out if you get yourself and your life balanced.
Chill -- sorry to hear about your ex also. Especially when you're going through a hard time with everything else. :l
Jude, MM all others to come have a great AF day!

Thanks folks for the words of support. Chilliwilly - I reckon I'll always love my old man as well but sometimes it's just not enough. Don't be sad girl, maybe your move back will make things seem a little easier? I dunno anyways major big hugs back:l. Madmans, that's exactly the problem - noone can control another person - in the end it'll rupture, I'm glad your wife is supportive, I read earlier on that you asked her to read over some of the threads - Mrs MM, if you're reading this, keep doing whatever you're doing - it's working! Life isn't black and white - there's a shit load of grey in there that we have to muddle along through and just be glad of the good times. Thanks Mylife also, and yes this is right for me now. Who knows about anything tomorrow - we could be knocked over by a bus ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh did someone mention a bus!! And Jude, bloody well done on the sober weekend - first one really is the hardest! To be honest now the only difference a weekend means to me now is that I'm not at work, it used to be weekend = drink. Thanks for your support also.
On the couch after spring cleaning my chooks and lovely fire lighting - how bad is life!!

:lMolly, just sending you my support and big hugs.
You know, honestly, lots of people end up platonic or "flatmates" as you describe. You guys are going to think I'm crazy, but I think when we get older that's the best. Just someone you care about without all the other b.s. that goes along with romantic love. It's quite freeing, actually.

Happy Sober Sunday Everyone! I hope those of you in the chilly weather are cozy with warm blankets You sound good Molly, even though the circumstances are trying for you and hubs right now. I think you sound really strong. :l Chilly I kept seeing an ex random times for about 5 years after we'd broken up. You've got a strong heart. I hope you can get home soon. Jude, Sunshine, Anon, madman, mylife, Dewdrop, Witchy and everyone to come :l have a great day!:h

Sorry that you are going through it Molly and Chill. relationships hey!
Big hugs to you both
I won my race today and was dead chuffed with myself. I won ?30 and Mr Anon took it straight off me when I came home as He needed it to pay my daughter back for the present she bought for him to give me on my birthday.
Not too upset as it is power for the course in this household!

Hi Everyone,
I don't have much to say for myself today, for obvious reasons :upset: I would, however, like to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for your support and suggestions. I need to re-think (or perhaps just start thinking!) about what I'm doing, where I'm going etc. Hopefully I'll have something a bit more coherent to report soon, but for now I need to tend to the wounds.
Bzz.

Quick dip in before my lovely sober bed beckons! Anon, kick the f&*ker in the nuts and get that money back - well done you, you clever clever girl you. I am so in awe of you with that running. I have to 'fess up to smoking ciggies this week, been off them for 25 yrs, so I reckon that's the end of my running.
KG, re the platonic thing, I remember years ago going out on a 'girls' night out with the neighbours and on our way home (someone was a designated driver, needless to say it wasn't me) one of the really old ladies (she was probably 'bout 50 at the time) made the driver turn off her lights and cruise up the road home in case her hubs would hear the car and want his 'evil way' when she got in:H - I was horrified that old people would even think about stuff like that!!' Thanks for your good wishes Firefox,, Witchy and well done on your sober first week of 2011 - great start. Thanks for your thoughts as well Choice, I know you have been through the wars recently as well.
Talk in the morning before I go for the bus!
