Good for you RedTailHawk for taking care of YOU! You deserve a life filled with
Serenity, Peace, and Joy! Stay Strong and do whatever it takes!

It took me 21 years of marriage before I finally figured out I couldn't change him.
Mine was SPECIAL too... he was the exception... I thought we were soulmates and
if I just did this and this and that he would eventually change. He went to jail,
3 rehabs, finally prison for 2yrs. I stood by him everytime. Thought it was the
right thing to do.... he was clean for maybe 3 months after prison... we separated
as soon as he got off parole 9 months after his release. He's been gone since Sept.
last year and he's still lost in his addiction. Hasn't seen the kids, acknowledged their
birthdays or Christmas... NOTHING... since he's left.

I'm sad that my children don't have a father, but the peace we have without the
chaos is so good. There's alot of sadness at first, but it gets better.

I wish you all the best!
