[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 680121, member: 11832"] DM, I can relate to this. I had no choice but to emotionally separate from my husband. He tried so hard to get me to sink into the emotional abyss with him. I couldn't. I couldn't allow his insanity to tear my life and my kids' lives to pieces. I loved him, strongly and deeply, but I couldn't sacrifice my life to his addiction and resultant insanity. Yes, I recognized that my husband the addict was a completely different person from my husband sane. Sane husband loved me and the kids and would do anything for us. He was kind, quiet, reserved, and thoughtful. He was respectful of others, sometimes going overboard to protect people's feelings. Just to give one concrete example, when Ferb was learning to ride a bike, he crashed into a couple of neighbors' cars. husband went back to the houses, met the people and told them about the scratches on the cars. He took responsibility for the accident. Crazy husband was supremely selfish. It was after I encountered Crazy husband that I understood why people in the past believed in demonic possession. It was as if a completely different personality took possession of this man's body. Nothing was the same. I kept trying to explain that to the doctors and counselors and police officers. Crazy husband was intent on ruining the life that sane husband had worked so hard to build. runaway bunny, thanks for the new |:-)| [/QUOTE]
