He thinks not drinking in the house and going to the pub is being supportive, unfortunately this means that I am left with the kids all week. He refuses to accept that I have a drink problem, says I just can't handle it, this makes him feel better about drinking. He can be a lovely and generous man, but whenever I need him the most he seems to retreat into his old bachelor ways.
I do have good friends and we all have children of similar ages, my friends aren't big drinkers which is good. So thankfully I have a good support system, just wish he would be part of it.
