My heart goes out to you and your family. I am the alcoholic in my family. My husband does not trust me. He says he is supportive, but at the same time, throws the situation in my face from time to time. I think it because they do not understand the disease. In my opinion, they think it is just something that we did to hurt them. And (in their opinion), it is just a "willpower" thing. It took me a lot of years to come to the conclusion that my sobriety was even more important than my marriage. I try to be patient with him. I know the hurt that I have caused to him. I know I will have to re-win his trust. I just try to remember that and give him time.

This probably does not help much, but I just wanted to share.
