I stayed because I took my vow seriously. You know your program, my therapist Al-Anon, you know all these things have reinforced the fact that if I do decide to leave eventually, that I feel like god is okay with that, I really do, because my husband has a choice: whether he gets better or not, and if he chooses not to do the work and not to do the things he needs to do, then he's abandoning me in our marriage.
