What a great update! It is in each and every one of us to find happiness just being with ourselves and focusing on the things we have control over and making efforts to take care of ourselves. You should feel very proud of what you have accomplished and you sent a strong message to your AH that you will no longer tolerate his behavior and you and your children deserve better actually the very best he has to offer or really what good is he? What does he bring to the table? Heartache or can he prove he is the man that can be a good husband and father and stay sober?? Only time will tell but the boundaries and standing your ground only shows that you are dead serious about your future and stability. I rather be dirt poor and happy than rich and miserable...
