I don't see an old thread on this page, but I agree withg the ESH above, get to a meeting talk to fellow al-anoners face to face. I am sending you love and support!

I think you got answers and opinions on your other thread. I'm not sure what you're looking for. I think you should find an Al Anon meeting or someone to talk to in person who can sit with you and work with you and help you find your truths. Al Anon is about US and about recovering from being addicted to being in a relationship with an alcoholic. There is a lot of self searching that needs to happen and a lot of denial that needs to be weeded through. Please find some counsel or an Al Anon meeting, it has done me a world of good to talk to folks in person, to get a hug from someone real, etc. We can only respond on here based on the information you share, we do not know the whole story, and as such, we cannot give advice. Most of us here try to share our own experiences to give you hope that others have been through similar situations. We cannot tell you what to do, we can only offer support and HUGE cyber hug. I'm sorry that you are hurting, Gwenci! Lifting you up in my thoughts and prayers today.
that kinda stinks about answers ... situations are similar, but so different.. No one can say DO THIS !..... its 100% going to make your life easy and fix everything. different answers for different situations and different times in peoples lives... change makes things harder for a bit and sometimes for a lifetime. dealing with alcoholism and NOT changing anything about yourself.... will make things harder for a lifetime. accepting you cant "want" someone into changing a behaviour/lifestyle ... that was hard for me now trying to move forward and yes ITS HARD.... BUT I AM WORTH IT AND YOU ARE TOO
