my story in a nutshell
 

I am 48 years old and married to an AH. I found the need to join this site because I kept reading the story of mine in all the posts living with an AH. I have been becoming aware of this disease for a couple years, it has just got worse as it always does.

This is my first time to write anything, but I am amazed of what I carried away with me after reading so many posts. I had already found a new place to live and put a deposit down for moving in 2 weeks, but this site helped me so much by educating myself more. My story is the same, and it truly breaks my heart of the pain, frustration and loss we go through.

I am so happy to be here..thank you a million for giving me strength to see what is ahead of me. I have a big day coming ahead and hoping it is an easy move. It is a sad relief at first, but I will to continue to keep being quite so that I can hear.

Thank you..It has been a life changer the last few days. I found new strength here and I feel better, as letting go is hard. I did read though.. It is better to let go, than be dragged.
