Loss and Acceptance

     We are moving closer to a financial agreement.  There's not going to be any fighting over money.  There never was much fighting between us.  We got along very well until he started drinking.

     I have less to say now as I do not feel as if I am being hurt in the same way.  What I am starting to feel is tremendous sadness and grief over the loss of this relationship.  All this time, I had hope that we would be together again.  Now I know that the reality is that he probably will not stop drinking.  We will stay friends.  We will be kind to each other.  I may never have a love like I had with him again.

   It will be OK.  I will be OK.  I have 3 beautiful children, friends and family who love me.  I hope that if you are reading this and you have similar problems, that you know that you will be OK too.  If you drink, you can stop. Just because my husband has not stopped yet, doesn't mean that he cannot stop If you are a codependent like me, you can detach.  I haven't detached yet, but I am making a lot of progress.
