"If by some slim chance the post is the truth then I hope he gets the help he so clearly needs."
I am assuming this was said in jest; however as the soon-to-be-exwife (almost 27yrs) of AH who believes; or tries to get others to believe (and IS able to do that; at least w/ other A family members) it hits a very sore spot with me. Not only is he destroying himself; he is also destroying our two children and me: finacially, now as well as the other heartbreak, etc we have been through the past few years.......... Of course; there is no way to "make" him see that he is throwing away his family for the bottle; it just hurts alot.
God bless you all in your recovery; I know God is not done with us yet, but some days are easier than others; for us all.
