Maybe getting fired would be good for him. Next, I am no longer financially supporting his habit. My check will go into my own, private account. He will still pay the bulk of the bills out of his check, but if he is overdrawn from his cigarettes and alcohol, so be it. I will NOT spend another dime of the money I sit here and earn. That money will go for food and things for me and my children.

Good for you! Stand your ground and be consistent with your boundaries. I think you will find you are more present for yourself and your children in beginning to focus on what's good for you, and leaving him to put his big boy pants on!
