My youth pastor that I've started talking to said, "You didn't just dodge a bullet. You dodged a mortar round."
Getting out was the hardest thing that I had to do, but it would have been much harder if I had to bury her, face her family after that, watched her go to jail, or wound up in the grave or in jail with her.
You have a lot of wisdom now, friend.
As I told you in my PM, my breakup after 14 years has been incredibly hard. I think the point of AlAnon is to help us fix the reasons why we choose addicts in the first place. I am still in the stage where I realize my brokenness in that regard.
Best wishes!
