[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 764528, member: 19522"] Hi Newstart, I am so sorry you are going through tough times with your husband. It is hard to watch a partner make choices and behave in ways that are detrimental to a trusted relationship. My hubs had a super dysfunctional family. Mainly driven by his abusive father. He held a lot of baggage due to that and we had some extremely rough patches as a result. When he became ill, he was not easy to live with, isolated himself even more and unfortunately with the stress of our two waywards choices, coupled with illness, spiraled downward. It was hard. I had to switch my focus and live my life. But, I did not leave. It was hard, but in my case, leaving would have been harder. We all go through phases in our lives. I find as I grow older, I am still trying to figure out who I am. I agree with Copa that you are an incredibly strong woman. Prayers going up that as you navigate this difficult time, you use that strength to somehow find peace. “Fried Green Tomatoes” remember that movie? That helped me forge my way through the tough times. I couldn’t change my hubs, so I focused on change within. (((Hugs))) New Leaf [/QUOTE]
