Getting past the guilt of divorce

My ex-husband was a high-functioning alcoholic for apparently many years until he wasn't anymore - realized he was an alcoholic about 4 years ago and then tried to get him to stop drinking - after 2 failed rehabs and much grief I kicked him out and then later filed for divorce. We had been married for 20 years and had managed to save money in a 401K - I was awarded the majority of the funds for me and the 2 kids. Since that time, he has been fired from his 6 figure job for drinking and has turned over the rest of the funds for the kids' education. Just found out he is on the way to Colorado with $1000 - all that he now has to his name - and of course 2 rehabs later he is still drinking. I feel VERY guilty about getting out of things relatively unscathed (except for emotional scars). What to do?
