[quote=Anonymous]I had several long term relationships before DH. I would say no obvious red flags in our relationship, but he did tell me his mom was an alcoholic who had been in rehab several times as he was growing up. It was clear when he spoke about it that this was something that he still had a fair amount of anger about. Met his parents (who were still married) after we were engaged. Had I had a deeper understanding of alcoholism, I would have understood the entrenched multi-generational dysfunctional dynamic and multi-generational mental illness it signified. Mental illness and pre-alcoholism and substance misuse by my DH torched our relationship, and my kids life. I'm sad I wasn't knowledgeable about these issues to avoid the marriage, but I'm glad I at least learned quickly and walked away before full-blown alcoholism. Our split was also probably the wake-up call exDH needed to get mental illness treatment.[/quote]
