It has been my experience that anyone who can live with a practicing alcoholic for years and put up with all that comes with it---is MORE than capable of living without the alcoholic.
lol...if you stay gone long enough, I think you might realize this!

Flower, as long as you are apart right now, maybe take advantage of the time and distance from the situation to focus on how yourself and the effect the separation has on you, as opposed to whatever he is feeling about it.
