[QUOTE="Steely, post: 100726, member: 3301"] There are many people on this board who have had to leave husbands because of alcohol or abuse, I am just one of many. Every one of us thought that we "couldn't do it alone", "we would not make it financially", "couldn't live without them", etc., etc., etc. Guess, what? We are all here - doing wonderfully - supporting our children, our lives, and our passions. So often being in a dysfunctional addicted environment strips the very life sap out of us. We start to believe that we are less than. We become their enabler. And we become not in touch with our own inner strength, but in touch with the strength and power they somehow hold or have over us. Once you find the tiny seed of gumption to pack those bags, and walk out the door - your inner strength will hit you like a blast of sunshine. You will be filled with the radiating power of you - and realize that there is absolutely nothing now, that will stop you from getting everything you need in life. You and your children deserve a life filled with consistent love & attention, a peace filled home, a happy mommy/self, and behaviors from all members of the family that you can count on and trust.
