Well, Summer, your story sounds quite familiar to me. My RAXH, who is now supposedly sober going on 8 months, told me this week that he's forgiven me. You know, forgiven me that I didn't come back after he threatened my life? No. Forgiven me because
he's figured out that I left him because I could no longer live every day facing the fact that I was such a failure as a wife that I had driven my husband to drinking.
Oh yes. That's it. I left, not because he was an abusive drunk, but because I couldn't live with the guilt of having made him an abusive drunk.
Sorry. Shouldn't laugh. But it's kind of funny. In a sad twisted way.
