Hang in there--I was in a similar situation, moved across the country with the man I had just married (after he almost died of liver failure--I married him during a period of apparent sobriety), and found that he almost immediately went back to drinking, lost his job (I was working and looking for another).

We lived together only for about six months, when I decided to call it quits. I moved all the way BACK across the country and got my old job back.

Yeah, I was somewhat resentful I had to go to all that trouble because he couldn't hold up his end of things. But it was clear he wasn't ready to quit drinking, and I saw no point in throwing good money (not to mention emotion and energy) after bad.

You're doing the right thing, I'm sure. And I'm sure you didn't come to the decision lightly.

I understand the pain of getting rid of books. I now have a Kindle.
