The words and the actions just never seem to meet up. I should know better. I want to believe the words, but I should be listening to the actions. I guess I just expect that this relationship would be better or more than the other relationships in my family. I have watched over the years and see that the relationship really doesn't matter when addiction is involved. Child/parent, grandchild/grandparent, siblings or spouses. The words seem to be to maintain the status quo or to get something. I'm not sure in this case what they mean. I'm sure they can't really mean to just cause me pain and frustration. I just know that they do and that that does not seem to matter in the least. And that is why the actions don't meet the words.
I need to remember to follow the actions and not listen to the words too much. Then maybe there won't be so many tears or disappointment.
