So, the ball is in your court, what do you want for your children, they to me, must be your priorty. The baby has already inherited the gene for alcoholism, is it really fair that the child should have to be exposed to an alcoholic day in and day out?

Children carry their childhood experiences into adulthood. 50% of children of alcoholics/addicts marry alcoholics/addicts. 70% of children develop a pattern of compulsive behavior, not limited to addiction. They may suffer from depresiion, anxiety, negative self image and impulsive behavior.

Yes, you do deserve a good two way marriage,however, I really don't think that your husband is going to change.

So sorry that you are faced with this situation, however, you can change your and your childrens life.
