I found out yesterday that my X A is in ICU and in critical condition. He had been missing in action for a few weeks.
He has nobody, just a few celeb friends in AA he hangs with, but nobody substantial. He has been living in his car for almost 2 years and somebody found him unresponsive and took him to the E.R... He has been close to death so many other times. I'm wondering is this his time? The man, alcoholic or not has been in my life for over 30 years. Thats a lot of memories. As bad as it was , thats how good it was. So Extreme.
This is a nice man, who has an addiction and unable to live by the rules that society has set up for him. I find that addicted people live by their own rules. And it doesnt make it very easy for us sober ones who love them.
If he survives, my hope for him would be that he really looks at his life and self reflect and know he has a mission that only he can fulfill. Your prayers are appreciated...
There is a Presence that is with your husband that is caring for him in ways we might not be able to see but can trust. May your HP make its Presence known to you, too. Blessings and peace to you both.
Having been in a similar circumstance can really relate to your pain and distress. My X A father of my son has been on the downhill slide since our son died 6 years ago. I wish you both peace. Know that all relationships are never really over as we carry their bittersweet memory til the day we die. Embrace what was good, grieve the losses and remember you're in the palm of your higher power's hand always. Chin up, soldier on but dont forget to find joy even in the greatest times of trial. My thoughts and prayers are with you that your X will find peace no matter what happens.
