My husband passed away in October 2013. It's hard to describe my feelings because he was physically abusive as well as an alcoholic and an addict to Rx drugs for 7 years. He's been through rehab and failed, and I have been trying to help him and keep our family going since then. We were in the process of divorce when he hung himself. Right now I am feeling more angry (at the financial and emotional mess he has left me with), as well as relief. Grief comes and goes, but I have been grieving for the husband I once knew for 7 years. Is it awful for me to want to move on? I feel as though I am ready, yet, my kids are still trying to absorb the shock. They are 10 and 12. I think in a sense we are all feeling relief from Dad coming home drunk, losing yet another job, and feeling unstable. For once, we are starting to have some stability. We are all in therapy, but I am so ready to move on. Any advice? Anyone been there too?

Wow that's deep Rachel! I hope you and your family make thru your rough patch. I have no advice cuz I haven't been thru what your going thru. I'm newly seperated and my divorce will be final june 24th so I'm enjoying the single life, but I do see how its messing up my kids minds. But anyways just wanted to say I hope you and your family make it thru...

speaking as an adult child of an alcoholic I can say that I can relate to the relief you feel. My father stayed drunk growing up. He was very abusive to my mother as well. It was a very selfish thing for him to do to take his own life and put you in a financial and emotional mess. I would never feel selfish about moving forward just ease your kids into things. Grief counseling would be good for the kids and any counseling that they need seeing the abuse as well and dealing with his alcoholism and how it affected their lives. Your kids will never get over the shock. My friend committed suicide with a gun in 1996 and I am still not over it. Take care of yourself, do date but don't introduce anyone to your kids until you know they are going to be a stable strong part of your life as well as your kids and that they are going to be good to all of you. Good luck.

holy prophet is one spiritual man i would forever give regards to, he brought my husband back to me after my old friend tried to blackmail me to take my husband and made him divorce me with wrong accusation. But this holy prophet did a prayer that resolved issues with my husband and push the other lady far away from him. I am happy to have my husband back, this prophet is great. his email is holyprophet8@gmail.com, he really surprised me.
