[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 724609, member: 19290"] Thank you everyone, again, for being here. I wept at your understanding and kindness. Your words of support are like little fireflies in this really dark time. This is uncharted space for me. I realize the addict is doing the talking, but he has also crossed a red line. Wasted or not, right and wrong still exist. He has called me the foulest things, three times in as many months, only during one of which he was clearly possessed by Xanax. A week ago, I was a source of hope for him and now I have to go non-comm, to honor my integrity. Cedar once described this process like trying to help someone who is drowning, but who also glares at you with hatred. For me it’s like that, but he’s biting my wrists and I’m profusely bleeding as I’m trying to fish him out. At the same time, he’s hitting me upside the head with the stone tablet he has etched his Mom blame on. For the first time, I have this “either him or me” feeling. [/QUOTE]
