Now it feels as if I have lost my whole world, but I do have 2 beautiful girls, which keep me going and I really pray, he will find peace and realize all he is losing. Thinking of you.
Yes, I really feel your hurt with how close you all got. I feel really sorry that you all lost that. when he relapsed
I am thankful that my husband is willing to get help. I'm worried that unless the drinking and our issues are addressed that we will be in the same position. We have worked on our issues time and time again, but have never improved long term. I really think that it is because the drinking and the issues were not both dealt with. Kinda the opposite of your problem. I've heard that though, that it will be out of balance unless both things are dealt with: your problems, feelings, past AND the drinking.
