Its hard to create a new life without your best friend. I filed for divorce because he has a drug and alcohol problem. He almost died the other night. I feel like my family wants me to hate him but I don't. I don't want him to die. We have a child together and have been married for 13 years. I know we need to get away from each other but I'm lost.

It's a hard thing to go through. Of course you care for him and want him to get better, yet you also want to do what is best for you and your kids. All you can do is pray he will find his way, only he can make himself get better at this point. Hopefully the time apart will be a rude awakening for him. HUGS

I can empathise with having to make difficult decisions when you still have a great deal of love for someone. It's difficult for your loved ones to appreciate that you still wish the best for the other person. It sounds as though you both need to spend time healing and maybe that's best done apart. I hope you can remain friends through this process and support each other where you can. Best of love and luck to you

Thanks. I feel like I'm all alone. I don't want to talk to my family about things because they have been divorced and they have a lot of anger towards their exes. He hasn't worked in years. I have stuck by him and prayed and hoped things would get better but they haven't. he still stays here off and on for financial reasons. I know it's unhealthy. I guess I am codependent. A lot of people get divorced because they found someone else. It's quite different when you get divorced because there is no hope for a better future. i am not as I love with him as I used to be but I will always love him and he loves me. Thanks for your support.

My suggestion would be to go to Alanon
And therapy both, it will help you a lot. Living
like that Does a lot of damage to you and
You need your own Recovery program. Often
Times We come from it and marry into it and
The cycle Continues. HUGS

Mirandac is right. Alanon got me through some many bad times with my alcoholic drug abusing wife. It's the only thing that kept me going.
