I look forward to reading the archived posts and the new posts. <br /><br />My husband, Mark, died on September 14, 2016, of cirrhosis, kidney failure, diabetes, esophageal bleeding, and anything else you can think of associated with alcoholism. He was 58 yrs old, and he had been an alcoholic for about 13 or 14 years. He was never mean or physically abusive; he just didn't know how to deal with anxiety and depression, and ultimately his attempts to self-medicate turned into addiction. <br /><br />I'm thankful for Al-Anon, my therapist, and my college roommate who lost her husband to a massive heart attack, at age 57, two years before my husband died. We have clung to each other since then. And I'm thankful for my two crazy dogs (Mark and I did not have children).

The father of my children is now my ex and we went through a lot of this and in the end we had to leave him. His life is wasted and his behaviour has had - and it still having - an horrendous effect on the rest of us xxLooking for Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010049814419812468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978906014166411621.post-61743465936255499842011-02-25T01:05:05.674+00:002011-02-25T01:05:05.674+00:00I realize that I am leaving a comment on a post th...I realize that I am leaving a comment on a post that originated over two years ago, but, wow, I am so there!

We are not held responsible for what another adult does. You are doing the right thing getting it out in the open and trying to do the best for your daughter. She is the future, her life is the most important thing. Good for you. Brave and heartfelt blog. I hope it will help other people in your position.lebanesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988892248196307424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978906014166411621.post-1299457272688734232008-05-26T10:37:00.000+01:002008-05-26T10:37:00.000+01:00eurodog - thank you for your kind words.

But it wasn't a cake-walk for you at all, was it?<BR/><BR/>All I can say is 'well done', not as good as maybe hitting him with something, but a whole lot better than nothing. Now, you have to find and make the next step. <BR/><BR/>And, as far as blogging goes, you have made one helluva start. Stick with it. You could surely do with another string to your bow, and what better. You can write, woman! Take it out on us if it helps, and 'Welcome Aboard'.Stinking Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13577508577062044906noreply@blogger.com
