I am so glad you visited us and talked to us. I think that maybe PPC hasn't been the greatest husband on earth, but I definitely know that I haven't been the greatest wife on earth. That was not due to lack of love. That was due to too much alcohol. - and maybe other things. He doesn't mind if I say this. We are all honest with each other here. Since being on MWO, I am a different person. Please give PPC a chance. I know he is trying very hard. But he is honest in his efforts. We can almost always spot a fake and he is definitely not one. He also loves you and your children very much.
I was a horrible wife and not a very good mother for several years. I didn't mean to be, I didn't want to, and it hurt me so so badly. I tried to get better for so many years. I hated it and tried so tried. I did finally turn things around and am still healing things but have made tremendous progress. Things are wonderful and will be fine. Don't give up hope. Give him a chance to work with the program and to work with MWO and we will try to get him back on the right road. No guarantees, but we will try. Yes, I gave up one addiction for another. But one addiction only hurt me and destroyed my life, and the other addiction helped to teach me to have courage and lead a better life. I don't thing that's such a bad thing. What it means to you is that PPC may be spending more time at the computer and less time with you than you would like for a time. But not for that long as people tend to gain strength and move on with their lives. Healing takes a bit of time, but is very necessary after an experience with alcoholism. Be thankful that he is serious and on his way to recovery.
You are a very lucky woman. I am so glad to meet you and so glad that you posted here. Check out the forum for families - I don't know what it is called exactly. My husband has found it quite helpful. We are always here for you.
