Feeling abandoned

Feeling alone & abandoned. I rarely get to see my husband and spend time with him. He called out of work today for a hurt shoulder & just left to go drinking, hanging out with friends & on a “booze cruise”. He said he was hoping I would go, I told him no because that is not good for my sobriety. We barely see each other bc he works shift work. The evenings we do during the week, the time is short. I’m not upset he has friends, I just wish I felt important to him and supported in this..

Hey Addeline.
Have you heard of Al-Anon?

Al-Anon.org

And we got a thread that might be worth a read.

The person I have to feel supported by is my Higher Power. And me.

I not only like Alanon a lot but also read Language of Letting Go by Melodie Beatty.

His behavior has nothing to do with you at all.
