Hey guys. Haven’t posted for a while because I’ve been doing ok for the most part. Had a bit of a setback last night. There is light at the end of the tunnel and I’m close to buying a place and moving out. We’ve been separated and living together for a few months (with my mother in law as well).

Anyway, I was talking about her about moving out plans, dealing with our current mortgage etc. My ex is not organized and is after a specific type of home that just not on the market right now. I think she’s panicking a bit. So, she snapped at me that we’ll talk about this when I’m sober. Now, I admit I had a couple of beers after work with a friend. Was driving so just had a couple.

She’s been sober for a couple of years and any drinking seems a trigger for her. I did a dumb thing and tried to talk to her but she started being all smirky and judgmental so I got kids to bed and went to my room.

But it just really upset me. I feel bullied and forced out of my home by her family. I need to have a respectful relationship with her for the kids. Clearly we have issues with each other otherwise marriage wouldn’t have gone downhill. But how do I stop dwelling on what she thinks about me?
