Get Me on a Smoother Ride.....Need Advice, Part 11

[Rob1231]

Hi Sue, Every one of us who's been through this has been told 'You must be crazy' plenty of times.

Sure, if it was all about cold logic and taking the path of least resistance, we would have given up long ago. But it's about loving someone - and every one of our spouses has behaved in ways that have saddened us, disgusted us, and made us feel ashamed for them. We don't stand for our marriages because our loved ones are making us proud and happy - we stand because we hope they will drag themselves out of their pit, and we hope that someday they will make us proud and happy again.

I'm sorry you are having to go through this. I hope H hitting bottom and starting back up comes sooner rather than later, and that 'bottom' doesn't involve the kind of worst-case scenario that drunk driving can become. In the meantime, take good care of yourself and that little angel!
