After 27 years of marriage I finally got the courage to file for divorce from my alcoholic husband. Now it is all my fault and he is "going to make me pay." Will it ever end?

Hi and welcome Boomtruck

I'm sorry for what bought you here but you'll find people who've been through what you're going through and they will tell you that yes, it does end.

You've made a decision to get on with your life - I think that's terrific - good for you

Hi Boomtruck.

It will end, but it might take a little longer than you'd like it to. Congratulations on starting the process of moving yourself away from someone and a situation that has made you unhappy xx

I've been divorced twice. Once was sad, two a bit on the careless side people might say...

However I am here to tell you that once the drama has all quietened down life after divorce can be absolutely fantastic - especially if you are out of a relationship that was really grindingly unhappy!

it ends.....although I am an alcoholic, I was married to an abusive alcoholic and I finally left and it was the best thing I ever did. Of course, I've battled alcohol all my life, but to get out of an abusive marriage was a relief and it does get better.
