      I have been married to an alcoholic for 16 years. We have to great kids. He has been to rehab twice and hasn’t lived in our home for over a year after getting out of rehab last time and relapsing in a matter of days. I am having avery hard time knowing when is the right time to cut my losses and move on. I hate the idea of divorce but feel like I deserve to be loved again. At 41 I think I have time to find someone but feel scared to make the change…..

      Hi Trixi,

      Your story is really sad and it sounds like you’ve been very supportive. I would go with your gut instinct on this, somewhere within you’ll know the answer, I don’t think anyone else can tell you when to cut ties. The only thing I would say is move on slowly, it’s easy to think that you need someone else and that time isn’t on your side but you’re still young. You’ve got loads of time.
