One of many stories I used to hear in meetings. I can relate, but I’m glad I “released” the alcoholic in my life to find his own way. A person can’t love one of these enough to help them…there is only ONE who does and they have to seek HIM out for that help. If Ida felt guilt, it was for the loss of her own life and not finding a way out for herself.
What a shame.
That’s the legacy of an alcoholic.
Holding on is not always the best choice!! Dealing with reality hurts butt the scars heal with a better life ahead!!!
So true, RP. If only we were all born with courage. 🙏🏻
Such sad affair.
That’s for sure. No one comes out happy in this story.

Interesting take, Theresa. That makes perfect sense. Thank for sharing it. 🙂
