Longrun04--Your story was such an inspiration to me. That must have been so very hard to stand up in court like that! YOUR story will remain with me. I feel also that staying with my husband is not helping him grow into the person he needs to be and should be a good husband and father. I feel living under these conditions he will never get better. My husband's family (as wonderfuld as they are) enable him big time. My husband has a wonderful job for the past 13 years. He has never had a drunk driving and has never been in trouble. People who do not live in the house with you do not understand how very bad it is and so unhealthy for the people they live with.
