Jods,

Thanks for the kind words. It really wasn't a case of being brave, simply a case of no choice. I was scared that he would tell me to go, as he had many times before but it was different this time.......I was serious in my resolve to have some action or I really was gone. Maybe he could see that or maybe it was blind luck and he was ready to seek help. Whichever of those it is I don't care. I loved him then, as I do now but you have to draw the line between love and self-punishment. It was a gamble and it paid off but I wouldn't suggest anyone try that path unless you really are prepared to go. Anyhow, I'm going to point your post out to him.
