Please don't "take up drinking" Dinah. I'm married to an A and it's hell even when he's in recovery. That's all I'll say about it as I'm sure you know plenty already.
I'm so sorry you are going through so much. I know it must be so painful to go through the anniversary of your daddy's passing. And at this time of year it seems even more sad. The holidays are hard for me anyway and I'm sure you can relate to having something so heart breaking happen during the holidays and then having to have the anniversary come around makes it hard every year after. I too have some very painful memories of this time of year.
I hope you can do what's right for you and your therapy. I'd hate to see you "quit" but I understand how hard it must be for you to try and connect to your T. when he's not quite there for you like you need him to be. I'm so sorry for your pain. Please don't drink, I'm sorry to say that as I know you can make your own choices and you will, but I don't think it will help you in the long run. I also understand the pain being so great you just want some relief. I've been there too many times to count. But I've seen what drinking and drugging to do a family and it's a nightmare rollercoaster ride from hell. I care about you and hope you can get through this.
Try to focus on "the good news." At least you have some!!!Hugs comin at ya!
