I need happy stories. Anyone reconciled w/ their addict?
So... uh I'm just wondering... has anyone ever reconnected/reconciled with their addict spouse/partner? Or does it always end this way?
My AH has burnt so many bridges that to get back with him would be a huge feat of... change. Also the stuff he was on was dangerous enough that he probably will never be the same, even if he did go into recovery. So I know reconciliation is not realistic, but we have a shared history. He was part of so much of my life. Does anyone who had an addict spouse and who had lived with all the attendant problems (lying, stealing, abuse, health) ever have a happy ending with the same person?
Also, has anyone over 40 who had to leave an addict spouse/partner ever find anyone else to live their dream life with? Anyone get their dream career after 40? I want to hear something happy today.
Please share your story if you have a happy one.
