Like everyone else who has replied, I am not sure I have advice but I am interested in this thread bc I have two children, ages 3 (next week) and 5. The 5 yr old is in therapy as of a month ago but still won't open up about her worries, anger etc... I don't know what to say/not say to either of them about their father.
He thinks he is a RA but he started drinking again this week after 5 weeks of sobriety. He says he had just a few beers on a couple nights but whether it's a lot or a little it's still drinking. And more importantly his behavior whether sober or not is exactly the same.
I am really seriously considering leaving and I have no idea how to explain what's going on to our kids...
