luv2eat2's Journal, 13 October 2008

Things have been tough, tough, tough. Friday night I told my husband that he has until the end of October to move out. He failed to follow through with the last "ultimatum" of getting active in counseling by the end of October. Initially, I was willing to wait until then to see if he did do it. However, Friday night he was obviously intoxicated and I found an empty bottle of vodka, so now I am no longer waiting. Today, he begged to at least stay with us, and do the counseling. He admitted to being dishonest to himself and me, and needing formal help. I know it will hurt him to leave this family, but I have been doing this for years, and I don't think I have the energy to be with him right now. I will help, but I think he needs to leave still. I am anxious, sad, physically ill, but I have not given up on my vow to make my children and myself healthy-physically and mentally, that is why I am finally telling him to go. So, I need to keep taking care of my body as I started to do, so I went for a walk with a friend, and did not give in to carb urges! Thanks for letting me vent!

Keep your chin up and do what is best for yourself and your children.

You CAN do this! It is so important to make the right choices and also so very difficult. Keep yourself and your children at the top of the priority list. The example you set for them is how they will choose to live their own lives some day, so give them a strong Mom who can take care of herself and her children - you will all be better off for it!
