Reaching out
I am married to a reverend of a church. I have children. My biggest issue with just accepting my husband’s drinking(and smoking) problem is the safety of my kids. I have quit jobs to ensure I am home more. He is such denial and will drive , even with the kids. I have managed to control the car pooling since I quit my last job, but I never know when he will drink again.
He will go months without drinking and then just start again. He always lies. It is more complicated because any real transparency would cause him to lose his job. I am so alone.
