[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry but it's not the high road that you're on but the river of denial.

[b]how can you not see that there is something more serious here?  [/b]

and just because you're reading books doesn't mean you are any closer to resolving this - in fact without engaging together, your efforts may be even more detrimental as a false sense of "I'm the only trying" is created.  The two of you have to communicate in order to figure out what's going on.[/quote]

I know that there is something more serious going on here.  As I said in my first post, he has anger/rage issues.  Every weekend and holiday turns into a big drama, with the kids reduced to tears because he yells, yells, yells.  I am trying to disengage.  I am trying not to let his attempts to cause me to react (by stomping out and sending me nasty e-mails and texts) to affect me.  I am trying to let go and go about my business and protect the kids.  I asked for advice and encouragement from those who have been through this.  This is NOT a healthy relationship.  "Just talk to him already" does not work when you are dealing with someone with anger and substance abuse issues.

People who are likely to be familiar with the disengagement process are people who have been in abusive relationships or people who have been in a relationship with someone with an addiction.  I am asking those people (and others who know about this) for encouragement and advice on disengaging and staying above the fray.[/quote]
