I'm Numb... No emotion left!

by Audrey

I am in the process of divorcing my husband of 12 years because of his drinking. I am numb, don't have any emotion...absolutely nothing. Because of the lies and the deception for so long...I feel a big void.



I don't want to be manipulated anymore by him...till we sell the house and go our separate ways permanently I do have to stay in contact with him to some degree. He can be hostile and emotional abuse.



I'm working my own on co-dependency and Alon...I just need to know how to create the boundary of not getting pulled into a guilt trip or being manipulated. We don't have children.



When I meet him, the very first thing he told me was he was a recovering alcoholic. Gosh, if I knew then what I know now...I would have run like the wind!
