Wow Buffalo. Your AH sounds like the perfect con man. I feel for you for having to go through all of that with the other women. I know how that feels. You feel like maybe they have met someone who is their perfect match. Your stories have made me feel stronger. Nothing is ever what it seems. What it boils down to is that Alcoholics are just plain unhealthy and whoever they are attracting must be equally unhealthy as well. I use to be unhealthy but I am on my way to recovery. Two unhealthy people together is simply toxic and nothing good ever comes out of it.
