I have an update on my last discussion

Houston area here too! I was one of the few people to only lose power for a couple of hours during the night of the actual hurricane. Sorry to hear about your marriage falling apart but it sounds like you will be better off without him.

I said a little prayer.. sent you a blessing.. sevenfold good for the bad times you've had..

[i]Hi slickcut, Happy to hear from you! ABout your situation, I can't blame you...You deserve to be happy so, that is a wise decision since your husband is not helping himself, he lied a lot plus he is not helping you to have a great and normal relationship! DO whatever makes you happy and hopefully, he will learn to live a healthy and productive like now that not even his own family will love to accept him![/i]

hi dear life is a struggle at each point of time. how much we take up will depend upon the circumstances!! well good luck for the future!!

It sounds like you have made your choice. You will have a tough road ahead of you, but you have to keep moving forward. Before you made this decision, did you speak to your husband about the situation? Would you ever consider reconcilliation if sought help for his addiction, or do you feel the mariage it too far gone? I am by no means suggesting that you stay with him. You deserve happiness in your life. You also deserve to be in a loving and healthy relationship. Sometimes, no matter what we do, it just doesn't work. I was married to my ex-husband for 6 years. During that time, he hardly ever worked, he spent a lot of time in jail, and he cheated on me repeatedly. Even through all of that, I stood beside him. We parted ways because he spent time in prison, 22 months. While he was gone, I gave birth to his daughter, kept a home for us, raised the kids, wrote to him every night, visited him at least once a month, accepted his collect calls, and did all I possibly could to include him in the family and the kids' lives. I never once cheated on him. About 6 weeks before he was released, I experienced horrible things. I with held from telling him because I wanted him home and knew that by telling him that would only cause problems and probably delay his release. When he got out and found out what had happened, he left me saying that he didn't believe me because I am too strong of a woman to have bad things like that happen to me. The divorce hurt. I felt like I had failed, and I felt very betrayed. It was also hard on my kids. Since then, I have remarried to a wonderful man who does all he can for us. He considers my children to be his own, and treats them as if he has been there since day one. My ex-husband is back in prison, and has not even seen his kids in four years. It was a very tough road to travel, but I did it, and I am much happier as a result. My advice to you is this: If you cannot picture yourself happy in your current situation, change it. It will not be easy, but if you take it one small step at a time, you will make it just fine. Just do not prolong it. The longer you wait, the harder it gets to do. The best of luck to you, and God bless.
