Thank you
I found this site tonight after a long day filled with sad thoughts. Reading all the stories & responses here has been so very helpful to me this evening so I wanted to say thank you.
I left my alcoholic SO of 10 years in mid-April hoping, like so many of you have, that it would shock him into getting help. It's taken having dinner with him every couple of weeks over the past few months to admit to myself that no, he's not trying to help himself. Today I emailed his sister who lives in another city because I wanted to let his family know his situation. And that's the last I'm going to have to do with it. I hope. I can't do anything more. It's hard to come to terms with that in my mind & my heart.
Now I know where to come to read about others going through this experience and through that to help myself stay the steady path.
Thank you all very much.
