I have been seperated from my AW for over 2 1/2 years now. I am working a strong program and am I am in a much place than I was.
I left because I was at the point where it hurt more to stay than it did to leave. At that poin we had been married 36 years. I hope she finds recovery and happiness but I know in my heart I could never trust her again. Too many recoveries, detoxes, and everything else.
I have my own recovery to work on. I can honestly say it does get better. I have self esteem again and a good relationship with myself. I am happy and content.
I don't know if this is what you are looking for but you can at least rebuild your own life and find serenity. For me that was enough.
Your friend,
