IMO, this should be your focus and concern rather than when or how much he is drinking. It is affecting your children. What are you going to do about that?
I couldn't agree more.
I will forever carry the guilt of completely putting aside my oldest daughter's needs all those years she was growing up, and instead focusing on controlling the alkie/addict husband.
That little girl is now a 30 year old alkie/addict who picks the same kind of men that I used to.
Far too often we do pass the legacy of this disease on to the children, and that IS the harsh truth.
