I'm glad you've come here, we have a great community of those seeking and in recovery, and we also have a section of the site devoted to family and friends of addicts/alcoholics. You are always welcome here in the Newcomers section, but you could also find others who have been in your same situation in the family section.
Thank you so much. I can understand tearing relationships apart, but for another woman?! I just can't fathom it. I never had issues in that respect with him. Thanks for the reply. I'm hoping I can learn a lot more here. Any further thoughts from anyone welcome. I'm in a serious state of depression here over it. It's like drugs are sending my life into a downward spiral and I do not use them. Seems so unfair.
