LIS, I have no problem with your choices. I have no problem with anyone's choices. So long as they know they are making a choice and not blaming someone else for that choice.
Truth is, I would not live with an alcoholic. Period.
I also would not live with an abuser. Period.
It is still my choice to leave. Following "I'm leaving" with "because" is simply a justification, seeking to validate our choices.
As you have been mentioning, these are our feelings. Our feelings are not "wrong".
