[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 255489, member: 3419"] Oh, Linda. {{hugs}} You know that he was addicted, and that it engulfed him. I completely understand the anger, rage and helplessness. I have no idea how long it takes to get through these things ... maybe a lifetime. But I would recommend seeing a dr for something to help you sleep at night. You have kids to care for and paperwork to do. You've got to have help. Get some friends or people from church or someone, somewhere, to help you. When your lawyer calls, tell him that you need support. He may have a friend or secretary or other staff person who can help you. Sometimes, just having someone sit there with-a box of tissues will help, at least for the moment. Sleep is so important. I cannot stress that enough. I have lost several relatives to alcoholism. It s*cks. The rage never really goes away. It is normal to burst into tears at any given time. I know a woman who was madly in love, got married, and less than 6 mo's later, her husband decided he didn't want the responsibility. She was devastated. Just when she thought she was doing fine, about 6 mo's later, she was trying on shoes at a dept. store, and burst into tears. That is completely normal. It just comes at you out of the blue, in waves, almost like the flu. I know you hate it. But I hope you can receive some comfort in knowing that what you are going through is normal. Be kind to yourself. [/QUOTE]
