Thank you....it really helps to hear that I'm doing ok. I know I am, but hearing it from others that are/have been here truly helps so much.
I've finally realized that going back will only prolong the pain - I believe that he wants to mean what he is saying when he's sober (or actually, hung over and consumed by guilt), and that he truly is sorry for what he does, but that fixes nothing and there isn't a thing that changes for more than a week or two, tops.
It's sad to see someone so young destroy their life, but this is the life he's chosen to lead.
I choose to not go down with him.
Wow, it felt good to just write that.
