Sure there are happy endings but the people off living that happy life with their RECOVERING addict don’t post here when it’s all happy and good. But they often do come back when it’s no longer happy and addiction has reared its ugly head once again.
The people I personally know over 40 who left marriages due to addiction/alcoholism are either happy and content or they have jumped right into yet another kind of toxic relationship.
The ones who invested in themselves first and did some hard work so they will not repeat their own history, lots of them found healthy partners and live happy healthy lives.
The ones who jumped real quick into a relationship, struggle with all the same demons, tolerate all the same unacceptable behaviors and are no better off today than they were at the ending of their marriage.
