Looking for al-anon dads to chat with

My story...

Get married, have kids, develop dysfunctional co-dependent marriage, wife starts drinking and crashes, gets into AA, I refuse al-anon(classic denial, drinker was problem) 2 years of sobriety, crash and relapse, more AA, I get into Al-anon and begin making progress.. wife decides to run away, leaves kids and files for divorce. "I don't love you anymore"

Sound familiar anyone? I would like to find some men who have dealt with this and survived. I'm making good progress in the program, have a fabulous sponsor, and I am deeply committed to my recovery and raising my kids (5 boys, 5 - 12 yrs old). My soon to be ex-wife is very confused and unhappy. I am trying to let go, and have mostly. .but I still love her and wish she would come back and work on building a new marriage.

Welcome to SR !
I'm not a dad but I wanted to welcome you anyway. There is a lot of support here - woman and men.
I'm glad you're here.
