enough is enough
Thanks everyone for your thoughts, concerns, and advice. I know this has to be my decision and I'm still on the fence but getting better in my decision making, etc. I think I have friends and family that will help with the pets. I am going to go visit my son in TN so that will get me far away from here for over a week. I guess I'll see what he has done to himself when I'm back. Last time I left for that long went on such a binge that EMT's and police were called to the house cuz he thought he was dying. Nope--just drunk.
Anyway, I'll try to keep everyone updated on my progress. Again--thanks!!
