I think your instinct to run might be dead on. He hasn't had enough, but you have. With kids in the mix, their safety has to be paramount. Do you have a safe place to take them if he starts up a bender? Is it feasible to get him out of the house? He gave you hope then yanked the rug out from under you. That dread you're feeling is one of the worst things I've ever experienced. Waiting for the other shoe to drop. Knowing he's going to start drinking anytime and that after ten whole days sober, it's probably gonna be a doozy. So what if you don't wait? What if you act on your instinct? It sounds like he's made his choice already.
