Life as of Today (this could be the title forever!)

Things are better for now. I had a long talk with W last night which didn't start off very well. It's hard to get through that thick head sometimes. But I think I finally made him realize that he needs to take responsibility for his own actions and stop blaming other people, that he has serious anger, jealousy and control issues, and that he needs to go back to Charles to work on them. He doesn't want to do that, but there really is no other choice. We are also going to try to work on some of our time together; go back to date nights; weekends away, etc. But I also told him that I am not going to give up my family/friends/health time. So hopefully he'll understand that. Since he doesn't want to be at the low end of my priority scale, I am not sure how long things will work because he really doesn't "get" that I need to have my grandson and family time along with walks and health workouts, and friends. It doesn't mean he's down at the bottom of my priorities, but I may not always be available when he wants me to be. Yes, there could be trouble down the road. That's why I say, "for now, things are better." We'll see. That's all I can hope for.
