General I'm So Confused. I Need To Figure Out My Boundaries Right Now To Survive.

I couldn't agree with you more. I'm trying hard to do exactly that, while trying to hold our family to...

I am thankful you are in this blog! How has it been for the last month? My husband requires space and isolation is hard for me.
I never know if I am doing the right thing. I let him come to me and I never make him feel bad. But there are days and it had been weeks when all he would do is text simple he is okay and he loves me. No one around me gets it. My friends think he has another life which doesn't help and makes my anxiety even worse. We do not live together either. Separated while treatment is in progress.

We have our good days and our bad days, that's for sure! Then there are days that are both, actually. I'm sorry you're going through this, it really does suck, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I totally get that no one around you gets it thing....it's definitely the same around here. There are times, that the lack of support from anyone is the worst part.

But that's where this place comes into play. I've learned that the only person that can decide how much I can take, is me...and no one here will judge me for it. There will be people that will keep me "in check" regarding keeping my boundaries, and I thank my lucky stars for them.

The progress is definitely slow, but there has been progress. Most of the time at least. Once in a while he feels the need to pull away...and it makes me bonkers...It's a lot of work to figure out where the boundaries should be, and staying true to them.

One way or another, I'm going to end up on the happy end...no matter what.
