I don't feel I can offer you anything you don't already know, having been living this for a year now, but I even TOLD the OW she was a bandaide on a gunshot wound, and that if she really cared about him she would want him to get help. (PTSD & Alcoholism)As Grit said above, we can't do this for them. All we can do is try to take as good of care of ourselves as we would them if they were allowing us to. I agree with Lance that your H sound like he is going through OW withdrawal. Read the resource materials that will be coming your way soon, and keep your head up. It's a tough row to hoe, but definitely worth the trip.
