Gosh, LIS, my heart breaks for you! I can tell how hard this is for you! At the same time, I can't help but think it's the best thing for you. It's wonderful that you have your family backing and supporting you. And it would be absolutely wonderful if your H quit drinking for you, but I don't think it works that way. Again, I have only limited knowledge, but I think it has to be something that they decide for themselves, and not for anyone else. It's also possible that your leaving will be the final straw that brings him to his knees. But overall, I know this isn't about you, either good or bad. Alcoholism is definitely an internal problem, one that unfortunately affects everyone around the alcoholic. You didn't fail anything, because it was never in your power to control. You might as well attempt to re-align the solar system while you're at it. But still, I'm soooo sorry.
I'll still be here if I can help in any way. (((LIS)))
