I understand the financial devastation to your family if he does go to jail. I hope that you at least somehow prepare for that now as a possibility. I don't know what the solution is for your husband, but living this has to be painful for you. I have a child who is almost 18 as well. I stress CHILD because even though that may be the legal age, certainly they are not grown up. Their brains do not mature until age 25. That is a medical fact.

I hope you reach out through therapy or a program yourself. I also hope that since there is not much you can do for your husband at this point, that you put some of that focus on your daughter and what she is going through. Living in a home with an alcoholic or even with difficult relationships is a hard thing to do. Don't give up on her.
