I managed , with the help of AH family to get him out of the house 2 years ago. They had to help , because he just stayed drunk to not be able to move out. (read - manipulation) I said that he could come back if he had a year of sobriety.Never happened. He went the classic route of finding himself another lady resquer(met her in rehab) one month after the separation - after 20 years of marriage I was replaced in 4 weeks time. Now I am still trying to settle the divorce and he wants me back. NOOOO!
I stayed too long , and mainly beause he was sober for seven years in the middle of our marriage. I am still anxious and depressed and ANGRY , but time and my HP will the pain.
Look after your health , it WILL suffer if you stay with an active alcoholic.
