My ex turned into a terrible alcoholic after his parents and older sister died in a car accident, and I divorced him after months of trying to get him help with were not successful, especially because I didn’t want our 4 year old daughter witnessing his behavior. He was always depressed and angry, and he wasn’t the same joy filled and spirit lifting man that I had known. He dropped out of college and got fired from his job because drinking took over his life. It’s been a year since we’ve talked (which was the divorce), but I received a surprise letter and a $10,000 check from him saying that he went to rehab, got himself clean, and thanked me and apologized for being such a horrible husband and asked me if I would be willing to come back to him. He says he loves me and says that if I don’t want to, he completely understands and he says that he honestly thinks I deserve better. I am still single, and I still love him but I don’t want this to happen again.
I am 27 and my ex-husband is 22 – what I’m thinking is that I’ll agree to re-marry him and let him see my daughter on the condition that he returns to school and finishes his degree. Is this a good idea? Suggestions/any other ideas?
