Dear lisakelly619:

Regarding the Motion concept in relationships and your husband, from whom you are newly separated: by separating from him you made a one way distancing motion, and understandably so. With some people it shouldn’t be the closer-farther-closer natural motion, but a one way – far, far away motion. This is so regarding any abusive person in one’s life. There is a difference between being humanly imperfect and being abusive, and I am figuring your husband, being an alcoholic and a drug addict was abusive.

Four children and newly separated.. I was going to write: what a challenge, but then I thought: it must have been a greater challenge to be married to him. It must have been very difficult. I have some experience with that, living with a drug addict- the misery of it.
