You are making a very brave and tough decision to protect yourself and your daughter from the chaos of living with an active alcoholic. I too, feel awful about leaving and failing in my marriage. However, we don't have the power to make our husbands choose us over their addictions. So we have to choose a better life for ourselves. I will be thinking of you this week. I can't wait to get past this week; I think it will be good to be on the other side of this dread and anticipation.
