Thank You....this explains so much; and why /how I am in this position. Boundaries have never been a problem for me in the past; until AH rages started as his drinking increased. Also why he can hold it together in social settings fairly well.

He is no longer in our home because of this very reason. He still is "power-tripping" with us, etc....but THIS is the issue that is the deal-breaker with his drinking. I am not about to wait around until someone gets hurt.

Now I understand why alot of this co-dependency didn't seem to fit. Of course, it drifts over to that, but why there is such a complete dynamics shift in the relationship between AH and me and him and our children. Thanks again for this; I will definately print this out and reread it a few more times.
