Financially I'm ok...I'm a teacher too so our incomes are pretty equal. I can't really afford our mortgage on my own my own, but besides that I'd be ok without him. I hate the idea of having to move my kids. His mom lives next door to us...she helps with the kids and bought the house next to us a few years ago to be closer. She is wonderful and a huge part of our kids lives. She knows about his alcoholism and goes to al-anon.
I guess meeting with a lawyer is a smart step to at least see what my options are. We live in california. He has no criminal record and had one DUI about 10 years ago before we were together.
