Alopecia and separation

I was diagnosed with AA 2 month ago. It was really difficult to see my hair falling everyday on the pillow, bathroom, and everywhere in my house and at my work. I felt like as though I was going to look like a monster... I finally shaved my hair off a month ago, and I've been feeling much better since then. I finally felt like I was getting a control of myself and this disease. I still have up and down, and have a good cry once in a while. While all this was happening to me, I had to deal with my drug addict husband at the same time. His addiction has started going really bad about 2 and half years ago.I just could not handle his problem any more when I have my own problem. My emotions were going like a roller coaster everyday, and finally decided to end my 4 years marriage with him. I'm scared of my future and pretty anxious of being single mother of 2 in the city where I don't even have any of my family. But I know that I am doing the right thing, and I will finally see the bright side of life in the near future. I just wanted to post my feeling and situation in here if I can get any comment or support, I would appreciate it.

CODA is a group for family members of those with drug dependencies. Anonymous and helpful. Al-anon is for caring family members of alcoholics. I found noth to be helpful when separating from my addicted son.
