[QUOTE="katya02, post: 178073, member: 2884"] Thanks. I know we have to get everything out of the house. Wouldn't you know it, husband has invited people over tonight (we hardly ever have guests, but with husband working less starting this month it may happen more) and these people drink wine, lots of it. (I find that timing like this seems to happen often.) I was supposed to go out this morning and buy wine. Now ... what to do. To not offer wine to these friends would be such a departure as to need explanation. Don't know that husband is up to it. He didn't sleep at all last night. Maybe I'll ask these friends to hold what wine/alcohol we do have left, not much. That's good advice that someone offered recently. Maybe husband and I should just go to their place tonight, although he worked hard all day yesterday to make our yard look beautiful so he could show it to them (from his upbringing and ethnic group, keeping your house and yard immaculate is a big thing and having people over to see it is also a big thing. It's really important to him to do this.). I'm not feeling any joy today. difficult child looked miserable this am before work and so did husband. I'm glad husband has come to face the truth but now he's feeling the upset and depression that I've spread over several years. There's no way around it but I'm so emotionally tired that I don't know how much I have to offer him. [/QUOTE]
