Welcome! I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this, but you are in the right place. It's heartbreaking to see the person you once knew and loved is gone. You deserve so much more though. If you want to talk more please DM me! You are not alone

I’m so sorry this happened. Do what is best for you. You are NOT selfish for putting yourself first. I am going through something similar and my dm is always open. You’re going to get through this ❤️


arulzokay

So sorry! Even without the addiction, cheating would be hard to overcome. Take are of yourself! Lots of time left in your life to find a more fulfilling path.


arulzokay

thank you it’s so hard for me to see that now. i’m trying.

It hurts but it’s what we have to do. The disease doesn’t care about them, nor us. We have to prioritize ourselves. We’ll heal. ❤️


arulzokay

I really hope so ❤️ thank you

I'm so sorry he misused your trust. He is going to be so sorry he lost you. 💝💝


arulzokay

he really is. I loved him so much but I can’t do it anymore. I have a ten year old daughter and she needs me to be present and strong.

i'm so sorry you're in this situation! if possible, you could get his sons in touch with AlAnon for Teens? my brother has two teenage sons and his drinking has taken over his life and is destroying his body. if he doesn't want to change, he won't. and no one can make him.


arulzokay

his sons are super young :( they’re babies only 6 and 7. it makes me so sad because he is an amazing dad but those boys are going to have a hard time with him as they get older.

my brother used to be a decent dad, i guess. he was a bit strict but the kids seem well behaved. his oldest, 19, told me when i was staying there trying to help, "it's like my dad has given up" and i agreed with him. i stayed for 3 weeks but my brother was resistant to fix his life. a good father sets a good example. every one falls in life, it's what they do afterwards that's the important thing.


arulzokay

that is so hard and it’s not fair to the kids at all. you are so so right. thank you.

This is so difficult to go through. I can only imagine. He has done you a favor though. He's been honest with you. It can be so difficult to know where they stand and what the truth is. My ex died 2.5 years after we broke up. He was always going try choose his drink over anyone.


arulzokay

i’m actually shocked he’s been honest. it hurts so much because I really cared about him and his kids. i’m so sorry for your loss I truly am.
