I finally got the courage...

to leave my husband.

 

I told him I wanted a divorce.   After all of the legal trouble, emotional abuse, stealing, and lost jobs...I just can't do it anymore.

 

I know it's the right choice, but I feel so broken right now.  He is going to die if he doesn't get help.  And I can't save him.

I currently have no idea where he is.  He took our rent money and vanished.  And I am here to clean up the mess, as usual.

Tomorrow I have an in person al-anon meeting.  I haven't gone in a long time and I know it's time.
