This is totally my situation. He is outgoing on the alcohol and a lot of people are surprised when I tell them he has had a problem. Just today I had to apologise to a client of his for his behavior and neglect that made her take her business elsewhere.

I'm so glad to hear from others that I'm doing the right thing. I had a real weak moment last night when it didn't feel like it. When I'm around him and he's doing good I feel torn, but I don't love him anymore and I can't erase all the stress and turmoil he's put our family under.

My boys are really confused. They don't understand why Daddy has "naps" and "stays at home sick". One has even started saying he's sick so he can stay at home instead of going to daycare (even though they love their daycare). I'm pretty sure if I stayed I'd need to take them to counselling too.
