It is Human Nature not to want to be surrounded by pain.Many familes have difficulty helping a disabled person living with them even if they are not alcoholics. It is a true judge of character that you can care for another person and sacrifice to do what is right for you. Regret is hindsight.Once they are gone it is forever. You both can look at yourselves and think''that was hard''
''how did I ever do it'' but you did the right thing for you and for him.
Think what kind of a world we would live in if everyone who had to care for someone difficult walked away because it was not''easy'' There are Mothers in this life who have severely disabled babies.Their lives are a nightmare still they have joy. Their are Middle aged Baby Boomers who are just getting ready to retire who end up with a sick elderly parent living with them. They also sacrifice much.
Sometimes it is harder to stay than to walk away.
Sometimes in certain situations you need to walk away.Please no one be insulted by this.
No one ever said life was easy. HHHhhhhmmmmm I wonder who ever first quoted that?
