[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to think that I wouldn't. I meant it when I said forever no matter what. However, I'm not there, can't even imagine the realities, and have no idea. An acquaintance of mine years ago left her husband several years after he was disabled, and the decision tore her up and wasn't one that she wanted to make, but she ultimately had to for her own sanity.

What was the disability? And what did her husband end up doing after she left him?

My understanding was that it was trauma related, involved paralysis from the neck down, as well as some pretty serious personality changes. I'm not sure what happened afterwards. This was many years ago and we have lost touch. Although I know as much as I posted, we weren't all that close to begin with.[/quote]

It's unfortunate there is no adequate support for families like this. I agree with PP: If divorce would get the injured spouse the support they needed, it would be the right thing to do. At least on paper.[/quote]
