I left my husband over the weekend. Packed my childrens things and mine, got a storage unit, and am currently residing with my mom and dad. I feel stress free and even after talking to my husband about why and what needs to be done before we even consider being together again (Not filing for divorce yet) he proved me right. He's been drinking since I left. I understand he can't change overnight but I've been done with the drinking for years now. Still not the easiest thing in the world, but I'm realizing how much I was truly drowning in the marriage. I've just been in a better mood all around. I'm sure this is just a momentary feeling, but it's a feeling that I haven't had a while. Hello contentment!!
