This is sad. I'm so sorry. Addictions -- I don't understand them. It's really very good you got out as I know you have your own problems and could use some support. Now that you're single, hopefully that right person will come along. Maybe it's too soon to suggest this after all you've been through?
Thanks KW. The good news is I haven't given up hope on relationships in general, but of course, I'm being very circumspect regarding my boundaries as I'm developing new friendships (and I am! - see the post from 9/8).
Addictions are the dark side of normal survival drives - they happen because those drives can be fooled by chemistry and/or behavioral excesses. That's also why they're so difficult to treat - we'd all die if we didn't have (the good) "survival addictions".
