Wow. I can see how the callousness of him would stir up those types of feelings. Maybe addicts just dont feel? Its hard to come to terms with cold discardment.
My ex had addiction issues as well, but kept them a secret. Such a secret i still doubt myself. Even the marriage counselor told me the 15 bottles of hidden jack daniels i found and took a pocture of was merely a crutch he was using for pur marital difficulties.
