Finally did it, left husband!!!!

Just wanted to share this with you guys who understand what I'm going thru. I finally left my alcoholic, verbally abusive husband of 11 years. I have finally had enough and I feel like a ton of weight has been lifted from my shoulders!!! I could never have done this without my weight loss and the confidence it has given me to realize there is someone better for me out there that will treat me right!!! Keep me in your prayers!!!Deb

Hi Debra - you do not know me bcause I never post anymore. I had my surgery 5/2004 and lost about 110 lbs. I was married for 24 years to a drug addict. He took excellent care of me financially but he was wild and verbally abusive - like your husband I am sure. In public everyone thought he was such an angel - but I knew the truth. Good idea you got away. My husband went on and off shooting up drugs for 24 years. I never left him and he passed away from lung cancer 8 years ago. I should have been upset and sad - but the truth is I was not. I wasted a lot of time on him and I have not really missed him not once. I always kept some insurance on him because I thought he had a death wish. I consider the money I got "payment ofr services rendered" If I had it to do all over again - I would have left. Chances are really good that these idots can never stay in any relationship of any meaning for too long - we just seem to make it easy for them to be what they are. Best of luck and blessings to you and your children. Lisa Solis

Congrats on your freedom! I found that once your body is healthy you can start working on the parts that you took some insulation off of... mental and emotional wellness. I left my ex husband about 2.5yrs ago, got diagnosed as bipolar with panic disorder and am now (happily) being treated, and am now remarried to the kindest, most compassionate and amazing man who completely appreciates me for everything that I am. Don't ever sell yourself short again. You have proven TO YOURSELF that you're worth a good healthy relationship with yourself, demand it from others too. xo
