Not much to add and I agree with much of what has already been said.
I am sorry for the difficulties you have had.
I am married with three gorgeous children. My husband is an alcoholic and drinks 365 nights a year...regardless of anything else that's happening. He is so far functioning in that he works very hard and financially provides for us.
However there is not much left for us between his work and his drinking. It sucks! I feel like I have been single parenting for 14 years......
I am not afraid of being on my own...as I have been on my own for years. I am just not quite sure yet how I am going to get there yet...my plans are being made for me and the children to live apart from him as the nightly drinking is unliveable with.
SR and Al Anon keep me sane. I wish you the very best. Keep going step by step.
I also have it on good authority that the peace at the other end is fabulous and that's what I am working towards.
Take care all the best to you and your children Phiz
