[QUOTE="Gone, post: 640313"] Hi Nancy , that is EXACTLY what I am realising , only a few weeks in and behaviour is that of a 'dry drunk' not the 'magic wand I have stopped drinking now so everything is OK and back to normal' stuff I get her saying to me and to the family ''Stop being negative , stop worrying , everything is fine'' is NOT enough for me to relax and know my GS is going to be FINE in her care She attends AA twice a week and SMART recovery and she has a friend there who also has a son in care so they do pretty much support each other and seems they are both not drinking in order to get their children back ''Their thinking doesn't change until they are in recovery for a very long time'' This is what I have to be prepared for , she is still having a go at me for little things or if I mention anything about how she is feeling or any concerns Our relationship is far from ''repaired'' just because she has stopped drinking for a few weeks which am personally not even CERTAIN is the case but it does 'seem to be' She was tired and a bit 'off' and distant the last time I saw her whereas the past 2 weeks she has been pretty on point , but I think the cannabis smoking is getting to her now as she said she was tired but I could tell it was more than that and her mood was low but she won't disclose anything or talk about what is bothering her or getting to her , everything is fine in her book.... In my book it says ''things are far from fine , as yet!'' LOL [/QUOTE]
