CJ, it sounds like you are taking many positive steps to cope and to help your daughters cope. I grew up with two alcoholic parents and wished all the time that one of them would get sober and remove me from the pain of addiction. I still feel bitter that that never happened. So kudos to you! I dated a cocaine addict a few years ago, and I felt a great sense of relief once I was no longer interacting with him on a daily basis. I hope you will find similar peace on the other side of this transition! Just curious, does your husband know you're planning to move?
