My Sober ABF is doing amazig in recovery and I am really keeeping the focus on myself.
Then today I get a call from my ex husband the gambler.
His life is in ruins god love him he is facing the consequences of all his choices.  He lives in another city.  Has had to change his name.  Our eldest son 17 will not talk to him has not for 4 years he speaks only by phone with our 14 year old daughter.

People outside al non may think he is getting his just deserts.  But because of the knowledge I have gained here I am feeling great pain I loved this man for over 17 years he was my est friend.  Apart from his addiction he was a very good husband and father.  I have tod him about al anon and hve suggested GA he says he does not gamle I said o.k but it helps with how gabling has affected your life.  I know I am powerless.  I am handing him over.  It just hurts I still love him I want him to be happy.  I hate these diseases.  I am just posting to help me feel, then I have to let it go it HPs job not mine.  Thank GOD I found al anon in the past I would be trying to fix it but today I know I am just as sick as him and this is a test for me to practice my al anon.


hugs

Great post ((Tracy))

I understand. I don't want any harm to come to my exAH either, he is the father of my children..

Thank you for sharing all the miracles. And I'm thanking your Higher power right with you. ((hugs))
