wow, you told my story there, almost exactly word for word. I was married for 20yrs when my wife dumped me. She was severely tortured as a child, then spent her adulthood trying to overcome that as well as being disabled. She underwent multiple surgeries and eventually became addicted to pain pills. After being the caretaker our whole marriage I felt pretty used and abused myself. Our kid took her side in the divorce, but she's been warming up to me lately.
We have a forum here on this website just for us "friends and family of alcoholics". You are most welcome to come browse around and see what people are saying.

There's a lot of great information in the "Sticky" posts at the top of the forum. Take a little time to read thru and let us know what you think. There's a lot of people who have experienced that "whiplash" of having their spouse get sober and then divorce them. Seems to be fairly common.
Welcome again, and I am looking forward to getting to know you.
Mike
