[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 660336, member: 17542"] I'm sorry you are hurt. I love you. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Don't engage with circular conversations, which is a common habit with addicts and alcoholics. I spent HOURS trying to reason with my exhusband in these circular conversations. Nothing ever got dealt with. Ever. Finally I stopped talking. I am a very slow learner and an unrelenting communicator. But even I finally got it. There is no explanation on earth that will ever be acceptable Copa as long as there is no recovery. Stop wasting your breath. This kind statement: I'm sorry you are hurt. I love you. Is all true and you can never have regrets saying this over and over. He won't like it so don't expect that. Have no expectations. At all. You can't create a new reality for him. Only he can do that for himself. Focus on your reality. Create a great life for yourself regardless of what he does or does not do. Warm hugs. [/QUOTE]
