Hi Everyone-
Thank you very much for posting. There is so much collective experience on these boards!
I can now add your voices to the chorus of friends and family that are gently hoping I can finally bring this 18 year drama to some kind of conclusion. It is the voice of wisdom.
It's all so dramatic and sad and emotional to me. I hate conflict. I don't want anyone, including AW, to be mad at me. I have my own flaws and I don't want to be judgmental. So this is hard for me.
Yet I am gathering the strength to go through with it. Strength and possibly even hope and optism as to what might be next for me. It's been 2 years since she fell off the wagon; the fact is, she has not stopped drinking, so that's that. I am done with active alcoholism, this is the end of the road. Yikes.
I just wanted to say thanks again for the good advice. It might be a punch in the gut, but it really does help.
Blessings....
