[quote=Anonymous]30 years ago, my husband and I separated and divorced because he was an alcoholic.  It was a sickness that was tearing our home apart.  He refused to get help because
he didnt see that he had a problem.  "in sickness and in health" did not apply.     I was counseled to at least separate.  There was much relationship damage.   my children were
becoming afraid.  Our home life was chaotic at best.
If you are feeling to draw that boundary and leave, then you need to do that and not come back.  It may be the push he needs to get some help.  If he remains healthy and
well for a good length of time after he gets help, then maybe think about reconciling.   This is not on you.  You had no way of knowing,  I understand your heart.   I used
to say "if he would have just tried a little, we could have made it work."   It feels like you have wasted your time but you havent.  You have grown and are stronger for it.
Don't give in to guilt and condemnation.   Im a great believer in prayer.  So I say pray, then move in the right direction and don't look back.   Hold your head high and be
encouraged........................................![/quote]
