To the families coming here - you are in a good place. Everyone here understands and you will find much needed support.

Although my life is now very peaceful and without all the drama I lived through during my marriage and even after we separated.... I miss him terribly. He was a good man with a big problem that he couldn't overcome.

Wishing you all only good things.
