[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Listen, my husband isn't a saint. He's an alcoholic (yes, he's been "sober" for a few years, but he goes to meetings (it's yet another thing we are juggling every damn week) and his own struggles have made my own life hell. I was raised by a drunk dad and know how terrible it is). I forgave him when he admitted he had a drinking problem during the pandemic and got evening out patient treatment but it's unfair to be like he's a saint! No one is a saint. He's a good parent (oddly even when he was drinking he was an attentive, involved parent, he was just angry all the time. Now, he's all "I feel this" or "I hear that" or "let's keep our streets clean and be transparent" -- tons of AA speak.

So, all of you who think I'm just terrible, just be clear, I'm not. I am human. But I still deserve to be viewed as an adult with a say. [/quote]

WOW - complaining about your husband getting sober and trying to improve himself does in fact make you terrible. Nobody said your husband is a saint, but he sounds like he is doing the best he can, and trying to take everyone's opinion into account (including yours - given what you've said about the March meeting and wanting to sit down with a calendar to go over things) and you just want to be able to make blanket decisions about other people's lives. You ARE terrible, OP.[/quote]
