I'm so glad for the epiphany. I remember a similar thing happened to my mom's best friend Claudette. Her husband just upped and left her one day with no warning after several years with AA. I remember just going, "don't you wish he just would have said something earlier and not wasted all this time?" which was such a frighteningly adult thing for a 13 year old to say that I think we were both shocked.
