@Open Eyes, I have spoken to my therapist about her use of alcohol. She told me what I already knew and that was about her dependency on alcohol as well as her codependency with me.

I have stopped buying her alcohol (2 years ago) and I told her that I don't want to tear her apart or bring her down, but I do not see a logical way to split amicably in person. There will be some sort of manipulation or possible altercation. The therapist actually said to pack up and leave when she is not around.

I am currently planning the date of my departure, but feel that leaving a letter is not much of an adult thing to do, but I fear it may be the only resolution to get me out of there.
