divorce
not one of my all time favorite things to do. and, as one might imagine, not something that i wanted. but, there was no choice as i cannot force someone to love me.
I could not force my husband to stop drinking; placing our daughter in reckless situations because of the drinking.
We did love each other, but alcohol can be a mean and vicious third lover. It dried up his love for me and made me fearful and resentful – mostly for our girl, of course.
Please consider being open to giving and receiving love once again. There is nothing like it in the world.
