20 years clean. I know this well. It helped carry me through an interesting journey. Thanks for the reminder.
My husband still struggles but is back in intensive outpatient and doing well. Hard to keep to the one day at a time for me. It's been a lot of days that turn into years, and what I like to call sucker punches. Just when you get comfortable that you might get some peace and normal - BOOM. Then you start wondering how many do overs can you withstand? Do we just do overs until we are dead?
Some personalities thrive on chaos. Sometimes you can support the healing of loved ones better from afar rather then in the trenches with them. Really just ends up making you crazy too.
So odd you should choose the word chaos. I say all the time I just can't do the chaos anymore. I do think from a distance is going to be the game plan for the foreseeable future. It has been six months of living separately and I am sad sometimes but more at peace than I have been in years.
Same here Dolly. Fourty years of constant chaos. I decided I'd had enough a couple of months before he was diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer. I walked out of the hospital and told God that the divorce was off the table. That I would see him through to wellness or death which ever came and that I would do it with glad heart. Death came 4 months later. I've never been so much at peace and very grateful for it. So glad that you have finally gained peace for yourself. Sometimes we have to walk away or risk going down the drain with them.
