Amy, I wish there was something I could say to make this a little easier for you. Alchol is our families worst enemy. There is nothing we can do about that but make darn sure we don't drag our kids down the same path that our H are on. They need to self destruct on their own. Please try to go back to school,as you have mentioned you wanted to do but never had the strength. I know it is hard to do financially and physically but think about taking one class. It will help you build yourself back up. I am always here for you just as you have been for me through this process. I know I could not have made it this far without people like you. Please let me know when you are having a "down" day cause i know how you feel. I will never forget you, and yes I still read your last post to me daily...sometimes more than once. You should see the folded up 1 thousand times paper in my purse. It is my strength when I lose mine. We have to see it for what it is and that is that they are selfish alcholic's.....and we are better than that!!!!
