In regards to the addicition what is foreign to me -or hard to understand-is that someone would be willing to give up everything to be able to drink. I have been reading more on alcoholism. I did not grow up with anyone who ever even drank. I don't believe I turned a blind eye to it or H. I confronted him in the past. Of course he got mad. FInally, months before he moved out I put up the boundary that coming home drunk or not coming home at all is unacceptable. Kids were at the point they were asking -"did dad come home last night"
I said no more. He left and hasn't come back.
I am trying and working toward becoming the strong one.
It is just a lot to come to grips with in just a matter of months. My H isn't who I thought he was Niether is my M or the kids F. And he is with OW.
He has done a 180. Now I am coming to terms with it.
I have attended Al Anon and may continue.
I do like this forum. I believe a lot applies to my sitch and the advice is priceless. Thank you!
