Well, divorce is not the ultimate solution. I have been trying all sorts of approaches to make her realize that the situation is bad, but the only things that comes out is the aggression and bad excuses like "I am drinking just because you are the way you are etc"...

Having the experience with previous female relatives being in the same situation as my wife, I kind of pretty much know what to expect, unless the person herself realizes that this is a problem.

Our child will start attending kindergarten full days starting from September 1st, which will improve the situation a bit, but the problem with my wife's drinking will of course not be solved by that...

I try to talk to hear when she is sober, but a 100% barrier so far to admit the problem.

Is divorce what you are considering? Do you see any alternative way?
Through things like Al-Anon we can learn to live and let live.
You wife may seek recovery also.

Take care and welcome to SR.

There are amazing people and I hope you can get some of the experience, strength and hope that I got here too as I began the journey of recovery for me and my children.
