I left him - he entered rehab
I want to make this its own thread because I have been reading so many stories lately in which I hear my own voice from the past.
"I cannot leave him. I love him and want to help him."
"I love him and when I leave he has nobody."
"He is sick and needs my help."
"His troubled life is not his fault, so how can I punish him for leaving him?"
I have said all of this and much more along these lines over the years. I begged, coerced, raged, detached, loved, but nothing I did convinced him to seek help.
I ended our relationship two weeks ago and today I got a message from him that he is in rehab.
