Phoenixlady, I have been in the same boat! Among other things, AH blamed his drinking on my "damn horses." We are now separated, and I'm able to actually enjoy my passion without him muttering under his breath about how stupid they are.
At one point in counseling, he said he'd quit drinking if I quit horses, as in sold our farm, sold the horses, the trailer, the truck, the tack --- everything. What a quack! I told him if it came down to that, I'd pick the horses. And I did. At least they don't get drunk and blame me for everything.
