Sorry Capt'n........It was hard for me when I broke up with my first wife. I know it hurts, but eventually the pain will lessen and it will be more bearable. It'll be hard on your daughter too ( but you know it can be damaging for her if you stayed together and fought and picked on each other all the time. ) Take care of yourself...take your meds and don't hit the bottle ( you know that only makes matters worst. ) I'm here if you need to get some crap of your chest. IAD.

Oh dear, that is painful. I feel for you. You might like each other more if you are out from under each other. I agree with IAD about Lucy. Children pick up on the energy so if you fake it they can still feel it and don't understand the contradiction. That's not a favor. Who knows what will happen down the road, but for now maybe it's good to give it a break. I am thinking of you. :l:h

Capt,
My dear sweet love. I am so sorry that you are hurting. I got divorce when my kids were teens. It was hard for them, but they are fine. It was much worse with Mom and Dad fighting all of the time. I am here for you if u wish to talk:l

Dear sweet CAPT, Divorce is always difficult...i know that you will do your best to make everyone involved accept the new way of living. It can be wonderful...there is LIFE after Divorce and there is LIFE after alcoholism...Trust me, I am living it, and so can you.

Captn
As you know I am in the middle of a divorce. Fortunately, we have been able to come to an agreement between ourselves and avoided the costly lawyers. No matter what the circumstances, the situation is never easy. There are so many of us here that know what you are going through. I love Evie's post because it is a reminder that time does heal all wounds. We will be hear to listen when you need us. PM me anytime.
XOXO
Time

Thanks guys you are truly wonderful souls I must stress i have been sober for weeks i think the supressed emotions have surfaced during this time!!!!!!! strange all these plans for stopping drinking NONE for learning to live sober again!!!!!!!! Anyway i have to face that fact that I dont love her any more in fact as Britt said we dont make a couple sad but true 17 years aint bad i spose.... We are in contact and as you have said Lucy is ok but what i have done to her i can never forgive myself to break a 7 year olds heart is unforgivable anyway the boat is only 18 feet long no bigger than a prison cell where I belong for the moment self pity is pathetic and Iknow this!!!!! but i just need a few days to feel sorry for my pathetic self and then wake up and start sorting things out I am and shall remain sober thanks again guys I love you lot so much

Hi Captn,
Really sorry to hear this but if you don't love each other any more as a couple then it is best to move on. Children are very adaptable little people and as long as you are both there for her she will be fine. As everyone says, time will sort things out for the better
