I get that. Still sucks though when I'm trying to do the right thing and it never seems good enough. I'm doing this for me (getting sober). I also want to keep my health and my family so I'm doing it for them as well. Kinda hard knowing shes judging me all the time, but you're right. Focus on my recovery!

if you want to see what drinking does to people close to us check out the friends and family members on SR. I am pretty sure that there have been many instances where her little girl (your wife) called her crying about your drinking.
Not necessarily, some people just get stuck in bad relationships for decades for various reasons because they are codependent or too scared to leave or afraid to be alone or don't have the means to support themselves.
I see you are fairly newly sober. Congratulations but keep in mind that it will take a while to regain people's trust. Just keep focusing on your recovery
