Welcome to the SR family!

We are glad you found us. Lots of support and information available to you here. I recommend reading in the sticky (permanent) posts at the top of the forum.
Some of our stories are posted there as well as tons of wisdom from other members that have been there - done that - and survived.

It looks like you are already taking healthy steps to protect yourself and your children from danger while their mom is actively drinking. Good on you!

If you are planning to continue to live in the same house, seperately, some boundaries and detachment may help you get through each day. I learned about setting healthy boundaries for myself here at SR and through Alanon meetings.

Here is a post, from a sticky, that contains steps some of us have taken while living with an alcoholic loved one:
