Thanks for this thread, Buffalo. Hope things with your AH continue to improve and he stays on the path of sobriety. Best wishes to him and your family. I do believe that having two sober,happy, loving parents is the best possible situation for the kids, if this is at all possible. Hope thats what your son gets and you get a happy, sober, supportive, loving spouse. Your AH does sound like he is making the effort.
I have also realised for myself, that it is better for the kids to have one sober, happy parent rather than a miserable codie and an AF. I am grateful for the peaceful and clean home that I currently have for my kids and I. I am also grateful for my new job and my family that supports me.
Wishing everyone a wonderful thanksgiving.
