But these very well may be the steps that end your nightmare.

I found confidence and strength when I took my power back and did things for myself/children without having to consider the alcoholic.

I left my AH the house/debt/mortgage. He lost it all.

It has been 2 1/2 years since I left that marriage and that home. Today our home is a place of love and mutual respect. We are healthy. For that I am grateful.

Hoping you find your path too
