The first step in recovery is to recognize there is a problem. After reading many of the posts, I know now that the feelings of worthlessness, loneliness, mistrust, resentment, frustration, disappointment, hurt, sadness, depression, abandonment...etc that i have felt at the hands of my husband over the last 11 years are due to his alcoholism. Being a married single parent, overcompensating for his short comings with my kids...having every slip of his blamed on me, going out and having a one night stand in order to "regain contol over my life" are all attributed to being completely immersed in an alcoholic marriage.

Don't get me wrong, my actions and reactions are my own...however, I can now see that I am not alone...I know what I am dealing with...and can not believe how freeing it is to know....
