No, we don't do our kids a favor by staying in a dysfuntional home.
I have said that to my AH about what kind of role model I am for the boys and he just stares at me.
He's told me today that he is going for a physical and asked for the number of the therapist I am now seeing. Part of me feels happy that he is getting the help he needs, but mostly I am just tired of it and want a clean break from it all. I suspect that he will just do it again and again. I keep wonder how long this sober phase will last!
