She calls back with her counselor on the line and the counselor wants to make sure she understands what is going on. I tell her I am filing for divorce and the counselor says I should wait 6 months before I do anything. I guess my STBXAW failed to mentioned this has been going on for 5 years and the last year she has been in and out of treatment at least 7 times. I think I have waited long enough.
You certainly have waited long enough.
I would say the counselor was probably in the dark about all the treatment and problems.
We alcoholics tend to minimalize. It is a skill developed from years of hiding our use.
I am delighted you are making this change for you and your child.
