Welcome HisChild - PLease stay and continue posting. You will find understanding and support here as I have.

Rolltide said just what I wanted to in this...

"My small children and the fear of raising them alone is what has kept me here."

If he drinks from morning to night you ARE raising them alone.



I don't have children by choice but my pets are my children and I realized all the work to tend to them what made that much harder by my XABF (ex-alcoholic boyfriend) behavior. Separated from him I have found a new confidence as a leader of my little pack.

There is always hope that your spouse will find recovery. Until that time, though, you owe it to yourself and your children to be at a safe distance. This is a progressive disease. Your fear of violence has now been realized and it just gets worse from here.

Take care,
Alice
