Thank you, Anna. I am motivated, just hope that motivation continues to pull me through. I just talked to my Mom about my revelation and the extent I was drinking...she knew I was drinking but didn't know it was a problem. She's concerned because alcoholism is a problem in our family but very supportive and happy to hear my eyes are open to it.
It will be difficult to go to another part of the house while he's drinking, but I will try. He will be angry I don't want to be with him "it's our weekend", "you don't want to be with me", "you should just have a drink" and as he drinks his frustration and anger will escalate and a problem will for sure be there. I have to do this for me and my kids...he can't be a factor any longer. I hate to say that, but it's what it has to be.
