Here's the concern that pops into my head, Sally. You are coming to a message board to pour out your heart. This is a very private thing that is happening to you, and you don't have anyone in your real life that you can do this with. I'm not criticizing you for this. Many of us (including me) have done just this. However, I've learned that generally speaking if someone doesn't have a best friend / buddy / confidante in real life to pour one's heart out to, then there are more problems here than just the obvious one that has caused the heart outpouring. What is happening in your world that you don't have someone to share this with? What has happened to your life? How have you altered your life so that you have NO support? What are you willing to do about it? Sally, may I suggest that you get thee to a 12 step program - Co-Dependents Anonymous, Al-Anon, Adult Children of Alcoholics... one of these. You see, they work with people who have difficulty separating themselves from another person. They can help you become clear about what you need, what you want, and what you won't tolerate. It doesn't matter if there is not an alcoholic in your life. What matters is that you are living your life absent from yourself. You have gotten yourself caught up in a bad situation, and you need support to help you tease out the most important thing you need to do, and what happens next and next and next. I wish you luck, patience, and lots of big deep breaths to help you throught this difficult time, whatever decision you come to. best, sunshine
