Help
I am making the dicision right now to leave,. we have 3 small children, I believe he is an alcoholic, but what is the definition? He drinks everyday mostly, yes, comes home from work drunk, neglects his kids. I have an apartment, job all set up to go to but I am so easily influenced by him, this morning there was a note "don't make any rash decisions before we talk tonight" and he'll try to convince me, make promises and I am so scared because I am weak when it comes to him. I know I should do this....what hurts my kids more though? Taking them from their Dad to a new place/school? Or staying here, when he gets nasty they are usually asleep and don't hear it, I think.....but there are times when it's in front of them. God, I wish someone would just say "you are doing the right thing...your kids will be fine" but I know no one can promise me that and it's not fair to ask. I don't want to hurt my children by going back again either. Where do I get the strength?
