Katchie-just wanted to send hugs and tell you I've been there-my ex sent me a message (one of many very colorful messages) after I finally moved his things out that told me congratulations, you won. I don't even know what that means. If it means that I got myself and my kids out if a horribly abusive and toxic environment that was created by his drinking and my resulting codependence, etc, then yes, I won. Go me! I don't know how these guys do it! Anyway, I digress. Wishing you and your kids nothjng but good thibgs-and your ex, too. I pray he frees himself of his addiction someday soon! Peace to you
