[QUOTE="busywend, post: 282305, member: 391"] Linda, honestly - I thought you and husband had a great relationship up until the last year. I was surprised to even hear he had been a recovering alcoholic. So, do not think you put your relationship in a bad light all the time here - you did not. The last year was difficult and you vented some, but not for one minute did I doubt you loved him. You have mentioned a few times you wish you did not paint him in a bad light, but you really didn't. So, feel free to tell us how great he was, because that is what I remember most. He was very supportive of you and I always felt he adored you. The two of you had conversations about the tweedles that made me laugh because you were handling the parenting of difficult children with humor and it helped you both get through it. To not have that support today is a HUGE challenge for you. Nobody else in the whole world can talk to you about the tweedles like husband did. What the therapist said is possible, but does not make him a bad person. It is a reality that many of us face day in and day out. The stress levels are unbearable. Unnatural really. You have to find what is going to give you strength to push on. [/QUOTE]
