Maybe Smokey and your H felt safe to us because they represented what we learned first as kids? In my case, insecurity masked by bravado...immaturity, selfishness...IDK.
I know I loved him deeply. I love him still and I do believe God brought us together for a reason. But, as strongly as I believe this...I also believe...just as strongly, that God wants me to be more than I was. I believe God removed Smokey from our lives in order for us to become stronger in ourselves and more able to serve a purpose in this world...beyond taking care of Smokey and dealing with his insanity.
