First of all.....((((((BIG HUGS)))))) to you both. I love you and wish the smoothest way through this for you.

Secondly, all of the feelings you may be having are completely normal - anger, sadness, frustration, regret. It's just the thing that happens when something like this happens in your life.

Untreated alcoholism is one of the most heartbreaking diseases and usually ends - eventually - in some horribly sad way. I wish he could've gotten treatment, but he chose the "other" way out. It is such a sad, sad thing - especially for those left to care.

Please take care of yourselves and please call if you need to talk. You have a lot of experience, sstrength and hope on this board and we're all here for you.

Much love,

Lisa
