"Drunks are in a constant state of discontent and detachment from reality, emotions and normalacy. It is a surreal world without reason".
How very true. After 20 years of hearing similar rantings (along with all the other miseries) I did file for divorce. When it was over he said "I never thought you'd actually do it". He's still in a world without reason. I'm trying so hard to get my own life back, it's not easy.
My best to you hanginon. Take care of yourself and your kids, do what's right for you.
