not only is he lying like a rug....he is being a really LAZY drunk....and disrespectful, using grandmas quilt and your antique trunk....
he doesn't have enough energy to remove the bottles from the house??? he hides them among the linens????
if it were me finding them i would have gathered them in a bag with his clothes and put them next to his car, change the locks and tell your children's therapist you are DONE with the bull-balony. what she is saying is "good" for them is actually making your life harder than it has to be, obviously she has not lived it....take that with a grain of salt and follow your instincts.
one thing i did not do was hide my drinking, (except from worrying about what the recycle man thought of me and move around to different liquor stores).
