[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 757962, member: 23706"] I loved this. I have given up after over a decade. I said so here once and it triggered somebody here who did not want me to encourage a lack of hope. So I backtracked. At least here. However I am done with hope. It made me a prisoner to it's strong pull. I could not move on. I suffered. Everyone around me suffered. So I moved on to radical acceptance of the moment and stopped hoping. I am better. I have moments of sadness and moments when I hope she will come back. But then I remember that she is not pleasant or sober. I found I could use the Al Anon tool "I can choose how to feel" to move ahead. I don't know how often I will post. It depends on Kay. If I never see her again I may never post again. And I no longer obsess over the day she will change and love me. It may never happen. I have great retirement years to live and plan on it. I guess I just needed to vent. Hugs and prayers. [/QUOTE]
