More of my story

My husband's alcoholism caused chaos mostly in his absence - we rarely saw him drunk, he never passed out anywhere in the house, peed the bed, etc. He was plenty absent, though and the marriage was punctuated by multiple crises (job loss, 3 DUIs, 2 retail theft convictions, 2 hospitalizations).

Fast forward to today. He has been sober over a year, has a job he loves, and is re-connecting with the kids. However, he wants n o t h i n g to do with ME and I am really hurting over it. We've been together over 30 years.

I've really tried moving on. Joined several groups for socializing, working, traveling, staying busy.

Have not filed, I cannot. The thought of it throws me into a panic!

I'm sad. Lonely. Grieving. Has anyone been in this situation? Where the grass really does appear greener? He's better and then dumps me.
