Journal Entry 17

I want you back. It’s a hard feeling when it’s just not possible. Sometimes I am mad at you and I am mad at me. I know you wouldn’t be nagged into not drinking. God knows I tried. I’m angry because what you took from our children and me. You finalized it all and god…

I want you back. It’s a hard feeling when it’s just not possible. Sometimes I am mad at you and I am mad at me. I know you wouldn’t be nagged into not drinking. God knows I tried. I’m angry because what you took from our children and me. You finalized it all and god I wish you hadn’t. I needed you to stay. the kids needed you to stay. But you left us anyway. What am I supposed to do? I feel so helpless like I cant breath sometimes. I’ve been depressed. I know the kids can see of course they hurt too. I need to stop holing myself up in this room but I don’t want to do life without Josh so it feels more comfy. But it has to end. I have to try to move forward, not right now. It just happened, but I need to keep looking forward, if not for myself, then for the kids. They didn’t ask and don’t deserve any of this. No one does. I never thought I’d lose him… not at 39. I hate this feeling of empty. I don’t always feel empty but a lot of times I do.

    Ash,

    It looks like you did write this blog entry to Josh and letting him know how you feel which I’d say is a start. You made a good point that your nagging would’d have made him stop drinking. You need to remember that, You did nothing wrong, and when you try your best you can’t blame yourself, there is only one person responsible for your pain. Be mad at him, you can still love him, love your girls, and make sure you help your girls, be a part of their lives, and work on moving forward with yours as well eben if it’s baby steps. You will and your girls will make it.
