I am so sorry you are going through this. I left my husband legally, but he left me emotionally long before I decided to leave. He had many affairs so I decided not to continue living a lie.

The divorce is the most painful experience I had to go through (almost, my current situation with my drug addicted son is the worst)

Please reach out as so many of us have been there. It's a painful process.

Soon you will be on a wonderful adventure of your own, you'll see :-)

Sorry about the dog but it sounds like this is his responsibility to deal with.
Kate
