I have changed my name, for 2 reasons. I think WAW may have some idea that I am on here, and I don't feel comfortable with her reading my posts and my previous name would be too easy to find me. Also, that name was one I chose the first time around 4 years ago and this is now.
Last night WAW came home stumbling drunk. She has developed a real alcohol abuse problem. I am hoping she will deal with that after we are apart. If not, at least kids won't see it nearly as much. The more I think about how dysfunctional our home is getting, the more I relaize it is time for WAW and I to be apart - and should only be together again some day, if lots of things change. It doesn't make the impending separation any easier, but at least I am starting to feel like it's partly my choice.
