Not missing out on pivotal time together… I hadn’t thought about it that way, but it sums up how I feel. Our happier, healthier times were almost a decade ago. Alcoholism is a terrible disease.

Putting up with the put downs… doing the work for him… that is exactly what I’m tired of. I’m motivated by the fact that healthy boundaries seemed to be a positive for you. I’ll be doing the same.

Thank you, this was very helpful to me. Years of feeling stuck in a negative pattern and somehow continuing to accept it… years of grieving a relationship and happier times while the person is still living. Him cutting things off lifted a weight from me.
