My Story cstifnel: I am 31 yr old mother of three and I left my husband of 5 yrs b/c he has a drinking problem. I am hurt that it does not bother him at all that I left him. He never calls to see the kids. Why does it hurt so bad when I should feel relieved to be out of this situation? I know I made the right decision.
Re: My Story brokenbaby: It hurts because you are leaving a big part of you behind. I know that I am much better off now. But it is still painful. You are grieving. The death of a relationship, of hopes, of dreams, of your future with him. Grief is very real.

Re: My Story cstifnel: I am scared of being alone and raising my kids by myself. I wonder if I will ever be happy again with someone or was I put on earth to be just a mom.
Re: My Story ih8BeinAlone: cstifnel - i'm sure it will eventually start to bother him. he'll realize what he lost when you start to get strong and put him in his place.
Re: My Story Hopeless: Can I ask a question? What if he did care and came running after you? Did you leave him to scare him into giving up the drinking? What was your goal here?
If you are over him and want to move on, then do it. He will either turn around and seek out his children in the future, or he will not.
I know your just thinking of your kids, and you made that clear, but I got some sorta tone about him here. I am not judging, just asking. Everyone has there reasons for leaving and I dont presume to be capable of judging anyone on this site.
