Hilary dear, WOW! That took a lot of thought and contemplating to get to this place I am sure. I wish you hope and love, wrapped in peace and joy. It will be there . . . in time. It is a good decision b/c is life is short.

Hugs and Love, Mary

PS: I am just coming across this thread, it is sad sweetie. Give yourself plenty of time for just you.

:l Hi Hilary...

I'm sorry to hear of your situation but at the same time am glad for you because you are doing something very couragious and positive for yourself. You sound like a very strong woman who knows what she wants and who deserves it. This was not an overnight decision. Sometimes we need to listen to that inner voice- it knows what's best.:l

Hilary - me again.

I've been thinking long and hard about your situation and you know,... it doesn't matter if it's 25 years or 17 years or 10 years or 5 or 2 ... the bottom line is "do I want to spend the next 25-17-10-5-2 years like this?"

Makes a difficult decision easier, don't you think?

Sometimes we inadvertently 'find' ourselves without even having realised we were lost.

You have obviously been lost and invisible for a long time. Take back the essence that is You.

My regards.

'The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning.' You are making a very hard decision and I applaud you. The uncertainty you face at the moment will pass and you will find your way. Keep up the good work with the booze and remember you are never alone - as long as you have a computer, we are all here to give you that shoulder to lean on and ear to bend........

Just read this thread and my eyes are welling with tears for you. Just wanted to add my "Good Luck" to the pot of support here - stay strong, although I know from experience it is so, so hard. So many people here are thinking about you today.

Best wishes

SK, Huge hugs from the Highlands. Your courage is amazing, thank you for sharing this. Through your hurt I want you to know that you are helping me to have the courage to keep on being strong. I too am finding certain folks in my life not 'taking to' the new me since refinding my self esteem.

Thinking of you this weekend and wishing you 'peace and stillness of mind'.

I am so sorry you are in the midst of this. As you know my hubby and I separated too when I stopped drinking. We were apart for 6months. You never know maybe some time apart would be good for you and him. It certainly gave me the strength to grow and figure out what I want and need in life. We reconciled and things couldn't be better really. Try not to think of your separation as a permanent thing. Just think of it as a time to grow and figure things out. Like taking a break. You never know what the future holds. Hang in there - and feel free to PM me if you need to talk.

Again, thank you all. We are not discussing divorce. I am hoping he will go back to counseling for some issues. He is older than me by 9 years and doesn't want to be alone. I have to be here thru most of August as I have to pet sit while he igoes on a pre-planned trip. I'll probably spend the winter in TX, then not too sure.

Thanks again. :h :h :h
