I'm a mess. Feeling sorry for myself. I see the CSA as a wall between the survivor and the rest of the world. A wall between my H and me. He says he isn't ready to deal with "it". I say okay what choice do I have? Feeling so alone I guess I will just focus on my career on myself and let the sleeping dogs lie. Being alone is so much easier when you are by yourself.

HI HD

Sorry to hear that he does not want to deal with the CSA. Its really sad though. In AA we have a saying, you will know a new freedom, its actually one of the promises, and this is so true for those of us that have chosen to deal with our CSA, we heal and we find a new freedom, free from doubt, self loathing, fear, and insecurities. Sorry that he does not want that for himself yet.
Its sad to say, but yes, focus on yourself, your career, put yourself first, go out with friends, treat yourself to a Spa treatment, a weekend away. LIVE, HAVE FUN.
You will see that at least your life will improve, perhaps he will get lonely and if he wants to join you, well then you have those lovely terms and those lovely boundaries in place, that many of us hate, that he must adhere to

You only have one life, live it.

Heal well
Martin

thank you for the reply,


I feel worn to bone
Grey and ashen as the day is long
what is to be gleaned from such a state?
I know this feeling
I was here 10 years before
thought I had earned the right to never return
empty and quiet
I pray a lot
God says stay my child for you have much to learn
really?
Shit haven't I learned enough
I watch my friends
happily married and posting pictues
I cry
Go to see the therapist
She says be kind for thick walls protect his soft heart
yeah I know they do why can't he be ready to grow up when I need him to?
The fires on my tantrum
I am liked and popular outside my home
Men try for my affection while I try for relief from his sorrow
dear husband I love you so why don't you trust me?
We could have such a beautiful life
Like we wanted like we dreamed
we could see the world while we count stars
but we only watch tv
maybe we just want different things
