Read enough posts on this forum and you'll discover my experience was relatively normal.
I sure hope you aren't as slow a learner as I am.
P.s. Good luck.

Same here. I married him. Now he has been to 15 expensive rehabs. Today he goes to a yearlong rehab . His family got a court order to keep him there.
The children and I are facing liquidation of the family business.And sequestration We have nothing. And does he care? I really do not know as we do not speak. (I have a suspicion that he is too scared about this rehab and too depressed about the prospect of not drinking for a year to care about
anything else.)
This was no way to spend my beautiful and precious youth. My three children are a blessing , but I had to realise a long time ago , that i am basically a widow without the "perks" of an inheritance.
If i could change it. I would have walked away at age 22- I am now 47.
Think about
your life > what do
you want and need ?
