I know, I know . . . I didn't have to go home. I didn't have to let it happen. But I'm at a point where I'm content to give her enough rope with which to hang herself. I can't do the recovery for her; I can't even make that decision on her behalf. She has to get there herself. In the meantime, I have to keep my eyes on the prize, even if it means burning one more bridge in my life. I'm not going to let her drag me down and wallow in the shit with her any more.
Sorry, just venting.
That's what I've heard from everyone so far--you've gotta let an addict hit rock bottom before you can help them. I hope she'll be okay, and that she doesn't lose you before she gets there.
I'm not going anywhere. I just don't know what the state of this marriage is going to be if this goes on indefinitely. I'm going to get on with my life, with or without her as a real partner. But no, I'm not leaving her.
The thing about hitting bottom is that "bottom" is wherever that place is when you just decide to stop digging, throw away the damn shovel, and climb out of the hole.
