I can also attest, it is so hard to detach when living with an alcoholic. My AH would follow me around, and I would just have to keep moving about the house. That can only work for so long, and it doesn't work so well when there's a child in the house.

I'll second what Pelican said here. Find some creative ways to get out of the house. Now that it's springtime and it's staying light later in the day, parks are a nice option. I don't know where you are in TX, but there may be museums (natural history, art, children's museums, etc.) that have free admission or family nights that you can attend.
My heart goes out to you - sending you strength, hope, and hugs.
