I am now divorced after 15 years to a man who hid his drinking and emotionally abused me. He initiated divorce when my health deteriorated, proceeded to start using escorts & such and now I have major health issues with no health insurance. I am suffering from depression as well from everything that happened during our inhouse separation prior to the divorce. There are no support groups in my area and only one Al Anon that consisted of 6 women who all they wanted to do was talk about the gossip going on in town. I learned a lot reading everyone's story here and I thank you all tremendously for you sharing your stories. If you can suggest places I can seek recovery and help for depression from exiting this relationship I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you and sorry if I made any mistakes posting for my first time.

welcome to our SR family

I hate that your situation has brought you here but glad you are seeking help and resources to find peace and serenity.

For me, reading recovery literature - Co-Dependent No More, How Al-ANon works and other healthy books, posting & reading here and praying with my Higher Power has helped me dealing with my issues ~

I hope that you will hang out - read the stickies (at the top of the forum pages) and continue to visit with us - I know for me - I have found great friends and recovery here.

don't give up before the miracles happen in you - you deserve them!

PINK HUGS!

Flicka, sorry that the only Alanon meeting in your area is such a bad one. Maybe try this site http://www.al-anon.org/electronic-meetings to see if you can get a telephone or online meeting? If you're having a hard time reading the listings, use this link instead http://www.al-anon.alateen.org/pdf/ENGLISHforWEB.pdf

Alanon is a great source of the support you need so much right now, as are the SR forums. Glad you found your way here. Welcome.
