[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 86077, member: 3579"] Josie: not sure what boundaries I took with wife. I basically gave in and offered her the chance to do whatever she wanted, she chose to take a pass. Had she decided to accept, though, and let McWeedy keep drugging while living at home, I don't know what I would have done. And in truth, I now see (thanks to McWeedy's psychiatric) that I wasn't taking a stand with him, either. I was engaged in a doomed effort to control him, when control was never possible (at least not by the time we found out what was happening). I think the only stand I'm taking now is that I've finally decided to do something for myself and find a NarAnon or AlAnon group to attend. And I don't think I'll let McWeedy keep drugging at home now, either. But that showdown with wife hasn't occurred (yet), and I'm not sure of my gonadal fortitude when it does occur. I'm not very happy with myself when I look back at the last two years, but I feel that I'm at a new starting point. I'll wait and see how it goes in January before I make any decisions about whether I've moved forward or not. Mikey [/QUOTE]
