kat727 amd Karen43

1. The be a parent to her comment -- truthfully, there have been times like I was put in that role; daddy to a 51 year old woman.

2. I know that only an alcoholic can decide to fight the alcohol

As you both probably understand, I had a long history with this woman. Over the years, I allowed myself to be conditioned to overlook bad situations and learned to rationalize them away.

I am slow coming to the conclusion that most people look at the horror story I've detailed and say, "Run, Forrest, Run!!" and right now I feel and am acting a lot like Forrest.

Thanks for your comments, they help.
