My husband did not take it well when I told him that I wanted to separate.
He ranted and raved and completely freaked.
He wouldn't move out.
He wanted FULL custody of our son.
He refused to admit that his alcoholism was a part of the problem.
I had a pretty upsetting few days, but, eventually, things calmed down.
I just kept doing the next right thing for me (and my son), in spite of his quacking.
I saw a lawyer, rented a house, and drew up separation papers.
My husband and I are amicable today, and we live separately. We take care of our son together, and we get along well.
I really didn't expect that this would be the case based on his initial response - you never know how things will turn out!
Take care.
