kalex, ditto to you posting in the right place and ditto for an incredibly powerful original post as well as follow-ups to other posters.
Your anguish comes through so clearly in your words. I am sending the biggest virtual hug your way that I can muster.
I'm not a parent, but I am newly married (quite late in life as it were) and the last thing I would want to do is hurt my husband. Your posts are a staunch reminder of just how vicious alcohol can be.
Thanks for having the courage to post, and more importantly, to take the steps to change your life and that of your daughter's. The first step is sometimes the hardest to take. But you did it. You...did...it.
I wish you only the best in the days, weeks, and years to come.
