Thank you so much for your reply Hox. I feel for you, your sister and her husband.
Through my experience with my husband, I’ve learned that recovery isn’t a straight road. We’ve had times where things have been fine for a while, and then suddenly – they’re not.
Sometimes I think it would be best to cut ties, but it’s hard to do that having been together so long and holding on to the hope that he’ll stay in recovery. He is now suggesting it might be best for us to separate, but I don’t know if that’s what he really wants.
I went to an al-anon meeting last week and it was helpful to meet other people who were in a similar situation to me, giving me the chance to hear their stories and share my own.
