I just like the idea of it.
Very therapeutic
One of the hardest things to do is forgive yourself...
If you make a practice to tell yourself this everyday like you would someone else it just might make it easier.

Number 4 wins.
1) Immigration is a civil???not criminal???issue.
The term ???illegal immigrant?? isn??t only offensive, but it wrongly suggests that undocumented immigrants are committing a crime by being in the United States. That??s incorrect, because immigration is a civil issue. Any violation of immigration law is a civil violation, and as such, cannot be punished: As defined by the Supreme Court in Fong Yue Ting v. United States (1893), ???The order of deportation is not a punishment for crime.??
2) The borders are already secure.
Net migration from Mexico to the United States is already at zero. And Border Patrol apprehensions of unauthorized crossers are down to levels not seen since 1971. Part of that has to do with the poor economy???but it also illustrates heightened enforcement at the border, including the use of new technologies. At least ten Predator drones patrol the borders, including one used at the Canadian border in North Dakota.
3) Deportation targets are at an historic high.
If the Obama administration continues to remove undocumented immigrants at its current rate, more than 2 million people will be deported by 2014. That??s roughly the same amount of people who were deported between 1892 and 1997. While the administration claims that it targets undocumented immigrants who have been convicted of crimes, a major study released today reveals that nearly 80 percent of immigration detainers were placed on people who had no criminal record whatsoever. While detainers do not always result in deportations, they always have vast repercussions. Perhaps chief among them is the fact that because deportations proceedings are a civil matter, there is no right to due process???even for the more than 700 US citizens with no criminal record who found themselves with an immigration detainer between 2008 and 2012.
4) There??s a revolving door between ICE and private prison corporations.
An information request revealed last week that ICE officials instructed agents to scour Department of Motor Vehicle databases for potential immigrants to detain. The request yielded several emails sent to and from David Venturella, who served as ICE??s assistant director between 2008 and 2012. During that time, the Center for Investigative Reporting explained that the private prison corporation, GEO Group, ???pointed toward anticipated growth of federal detention, particularly immigrants.?? (You can read more about my visit to one such GEO Group facility last month

(You can read more about my visit to one such GEO Group facility last month here.) ICE??s Venturella appears in the same post, divulging that his agency would be requesting the construction of new detention centers. According to this LinkedIn profile, Venturella left his post at ICE to join the GEO Group in July.
5) Immigrants are good for the economy.
Economists on the left, right and center agree that immigrants benefit the economy. Undocumented immigrants contribute billions of dollars each year in sales, property and personal taxes. And while undocumented immigrants are ineligible for most welfare benefits, documented immigrants are far less likely to use benefits than non-immigrants.

Just like they are keeping cannabis on the ridiculous Schedule 1 Drug list...immigration is only bad when some fat cat fuck is no longer making profits from incarcerating human beings.
If your country didn??t colonize, killing their inhabitants by the Queen??s name and steal their treasure then those (immigrants) would still live in their own country/speak their own language and cultivate their culture and heading for the nicer future.
How come you guys weren??t count as (immigrant) when you all swarm like bugs occupying their country, now you dare to complain..?
Karma is a bitch??_. You know??_.

Unfortunately you have a man that's an addict and addicts are always looking for a FIX, even the sober ones that don't have sponsorship ruminate and chase their fix in their thoughts, he's most likely on the verge of relapsing so he's using the emotional connection to soothe himself.
He may also have some spin off addictions or have developed a new addiction since he can't drink anymore, he also may resent you being his mother figure and being so heavily involved in his sobriety eg fixing his problems, fixing his financial problems.
His way of keeping some part of his autonomy is to REBEL, this isn't a Virgo thing so much as it's part of his addiction speaking to you to leave him alone.
Does he have an AA sponsor? If he does then you should definitely get in touch with his AA sponsor or even get him back into AA meetings. Basically he's playing out his addiction with women, transferring one addiction for another addiction.
Maybe you should LET GO, let his addiction go and stop making it your responsibility to fix a grown able bodied mans issues.
You're losing yourself anon Ad it's not healthy. Why you've stayed in such a unhealthy soul wrenching situation I dunno but you're going to need some professional help too if you choose to stay because boundaries are being crossed not just by you but by him too, once that happens, disrespect and neglect comes right on into your relationship.
^^^^ Werd.... As the former wife of an alcoholic for 20+ years, this... is right on point. Al_Anon...Al Anon... Al Anon... It changed my life...
