Hey BobbyJ, I was just thinking about you and hoping all was well.
It has been quite a year, eh?
You are going to handle this situation just fine! Having gone through this year with you, I have the utmost faith in your new perspectives and strength.
Playing devil's advocate here for a minute, I agree that he will always be an alcoholic, but it doesn't necessarily mean he will always be a drunk. If he does come completely sober and committed to it this time, are you prepared for that?
I know he has hurt you repeatedly and violated your most fundamental values, but is there a point where you could accept him, not as your spouse or lover, but as a person you have a long history with?
Just curious! ; )
