Im guessing that you thought the jail time would be your husbands "rock bottom". The truth is he may get another DUI if he is an alcoholic that doesn't stop drinking. License or not, he continues to drive. It's very typical of an alcoholic who gets a DUI. I heard once that you "can't scare an alcoholic into sobriety". It can help change an alcoholics pattern temporarily though. I would go on the trip by yourself & your child.
