[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 668515, member: 3419"] Thank you. I haven't been to counseling in awhile. I think we wore one another out. I'd give her updates, tell her what I was doing for myself, she'd agree. That was it. husband was better last night. Said he agreed about throwing out husband. But wants to make sure that drug treatment isn't a flash-in-the-pan. I agree. It has to be outside of our city, and for as long as possible, on-site. So today he's at Day 3 of a conference and we'll meet at home or at the gym around 2:30. Oh, last night when husband called, he asked where Difficult Child was. I told him that I'd kicked him out, and that I was painting, and I'd discuss it when he got home. He said something like "fine by me, I think that ..." and I said, "We'll discuss it at home." He whined something like, "Why are you arguing and hurting my feelings? All I was trying to say is--" And I cut him off. "We'll talk when you get home. I want you to drive safely." "I am driving safely. I just want--" "Bye." By the time he came home, he had cooled off. All I was doing was creating boundaries. I was not angry. I was firm. And he doesn't like it. [/QUOTE]
