I appreciate your response and it seems you have done some introspection. But are you in a program for addictions, 12-Step, regular counseling, anything? That wasn't clear. Addictions don't just go away with out a lot of work, they may go underground and surface as something else later but they don't just go away.
I hope you are in a good program.
Your wife married you as you, not you as an addict. Some choose to say and deal with it, for others it's too damaging.
It is up to each of us to save ourselves.
It is up to each of us to deal with the fall-out from our choices.
Just as you had no right to abuse her (during SOME of those confrontations, I would grab her and on two occasions push her against the wall...that's abuse in my book), she does not have the right to abuse you. But it sounds like you bring out the worst in each other. Why not just let the Ls handle everything and not have contact with her?
I wish good luck to your son.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
