Really sad - and alone.
Buck, you don't have to navigate this alone. I hope you will find yourself an Al-Anon meeting. You have to get your head clear and your feet under you.
Yes, being a single parent is very, very hard work. Maybe your wife will grab onto recovery and she will regain the ability to parent. Some people do. Even if she does not, though, you can do this. Living with an alcoholic will suck the life and energy out of anyone. Al-Anon can help you get healthy again, for yourself and your kiddos.
