Dear Jackthedog, you wrote "......AH sounded like he was drinking, so I am picking up my son now. He is moving out in 8 days, no respect, I know I don't need to know where he is but this detaching is not easy when you have been married 14 years. This really blows. I know it will only get worse from here. When I asked AH why he couldn't pick him up, he never really said why, just tip toed around the answer. Idiot. Just venting, I know I should never have asked him I know he will never take responsibility."
Be thankful for small miracles. Be thankful your AH, after he has been drinking, won't be driving your son home. Be thankful your marriage with your AH only lasted 14 years. Be thankful your crazys with your AH will soon be over when he moves out in 8 days.
Alcohol affects each member of the family. Unfortunately, its far-reaching affects result in not only physical problems for the alcoholics, but also may result in physical and psychological problems for other members of our families. Treatment is complicated and often is not completely successful. Even if the alcoholic himself ultimately reforms, our family members who were so greatly affected may not themselves ever recover from the problems inflicted upon them.
