Hi everyone-I'm new to this forum but feel like it's a godsend because I already feel like there's hope for me. My husband just ended our 4-year marriage I mean we're still legally married, but I moved out with our two girls 5 days ago and moved in with my family. However, I still rely on him for financial support and the girls still want to see him. Since we've separated, he's been drinking every day and since he's a porn addict he's prob going overtime with that too. I'm trying to not contact him but have for valid reasons like discussing bills and what not but have had like 4 slips where I get pathetic and tell him I miss him. He's a good guy but has addiction issues which I thought were under control since he hasn't drank for over a year but I guess it's still an issue and prob always will be. How can I break MY addiction to him and this toxic relationship but still have him be involved with the girls and be mature enough to handle the financial side of the situation?? Feeling very panicky and overwhelmed

I’m not sure that demanding to be the center of someone’s universe is healthy. That’s a big burden to put on another person.
But I definitely agree that if they don’t love you and you know it—it’s better to show love to yourself, and stop expecting it from that person.
