Hi and welcome NewlyMrrdMama

I'm sorry for your situation. I know you'll find a lot of support here tho.

I don't know how I'm supposed to react to stuff. I don't know the things to say or not to say. What do you do?? Someone, please help me.
A lot of energy gets focused on the alcoholic. Having been in your husbands shoes I can tell you the only way your husband will stop is if he wants to.

Sometimes I think it's useful to flip the focus round on you - what do you want from your relationship? what's acceptable behaviour to you? what do you think are good boundaries?

If things don't change, what are you prepared to do for your own welfare and that your unborn child?

Heady questions, I know - but you're not alone

I really recommend you look in at our Family and Friends forum as well as this one - there's a lot of really valuable first hand experience down there too.
