Just wanted to say thank you to all you posters. I always feel better reading these threads. We are not alone.
Big hugs to all the twitchers, people with numbness, weird, physical sensations, hang in there. It’s just your body messing with you.
🙏💖🙏
It’s been a very long road. He finally went into rehab and I guess it’s helping him although it’s hard for me to tell from my end.
We’ve been married 32 years and he has had multiple addictions, including sex addiction, and he has also been sexually assaulting me throughout our marriage
.
With the idea that he’ll be coming home eventually I’m not sure if I can handle that- i’ve already told him I don’t want him to come home after rehab because he has to show me that he’s made changes. He is extremely narcissistic, compartmentalized, intellectualized and controlling. He is also bipolar. So his recovery has been difficult as connecting to any real empathy has been a real problem for him.
I’ve already told him what my boundaries are and what my requirements are. He needs to be sober, obviously, no more lying, and if he ever touches me again without my consent, I will call the police. So he knows the stakes are high. he says he loves me. He says he doesn’t wanna leave me and he wants to keep our family.
What I’m really worried about is how he’s going to be when he comes back. His therapist says he needs a lot of structure and groups. And I’m hoping he will continue to do that once he gets home. I’m just not sure. He was attending different fellowships before. (GA, SA) but I’m honestly not sure how much they helped him.
The only way this will work is if he continues his treatment once he gets home from rehab. Rehab is a bubble and if you don’t continue to work, everything goes away. Anyone has any experience on this I would definitely love to hear it. I guess at this point I’m just glad that he went and I’ve had some peace being away from him.
