I addressed that thought after my first divorce. I attended a support group for divorced/divorcing individuals. During our first session we were asked "How many think your life would be easier if your spouse would die or if you could move far away and never see them again?". I think every hand went up.
Like Bernadette and LaTeeDa, our group began to work on ourselves instead of looking up the number for a hit man.
I am editing this post - I just realized that the "addict" in your life is immediate family not a spouse.
Adding the fact that I wanted to raise my hand again after I left my active alcoholic earlier this year.
