I have a question to everyone here. I DO NOT trust my AH during his time w/my children. That is the reason I stay. At least now I have some control during those times. If he chooses to drink, I can either make him leave or can pick up my kids and leave. He is not some awful person and does not drink all the time. Definitely not defending him, just it is what it is. Our kids love him to pieces.
They cannot always tell he has been drinking. Just last week I made him leave for the night b/c he had been drinking, they truly did not know. He takes strong Rx medicine so even if he drinks 1 beer he is impaired but in denial so even he thinks he is fine. My biggest fear in life is that he will drive them somewhere and it will hurt them. That is why I stay, because I am AFRAID for my kids and do not trust the system to protect them.
How do you all get past that? Any advise? We are strapped for $ so some gadget that costs a thousand bucks a month is not the answer. Also..he is a sneaky devil.
Thanks!
