Don't Understand
njriverman,
If what you have quoted is true, how can an alcoholic ever recover? In the case of my AH, I made him leave our house and our kids because I feared more and more for my kids safety. I didn't tell him to leave forever only until he got himself under control. Instead of recognizing his problem, he went and found someone to take my place. Who would continue to tell him he didn't have a problem. Then he moved back in with his Mother (with the other woman) and the rest of his family and now they are all protecting him. His sister told me that they realize he might have a problem but that he is their brother and they don't want to hear about it. How is he going to recover? Can he ever recognize what he has lost? We have two great kids together (15 & 13), he won't be here to see all the amazing things that are going to happen in their lives. I really don't understand.
