Your kids may wonder why you "enabled" their dad for so long, but if they can get imfo on alcoholism from Alateen, Alanon and some threads and stickies here, it may help to explain why. It sure would let them know that you are only 1 in millions of wives who thru NOT KNOWING much, if anything about alcoholism, did what they believed was the duty of a GOOD wife, and
tried to support them.
As for your AH, well I also have grave doubts he will change for the better anytime soon, admit he DOES have a problem and really work a program.
I still shudder in disbelief when I hear of someone having gone into Rehab, decide that because they aren't YET at the end stages of this disease, THEY CAN'T BE AN ALCOHOLIC.
If they had diabetes would they deny it, because they had NOT gone into a diabetic coma YET?
I think this image says where he is at, but right now...WHERE are YOU at?
Caring for yourself I hope, my dear.
God bless
