I just wanted to say that my children were very angry at me when I first kicked their dad out of the house. They are children, he's all they've ever known. You are upsetting their world and it is expected that they will not like it. Once I got them into counseling, they began to understand that their life was not normal and not right. It's very hard to be the "bad guy" in the kids eyes. I just wanted to reassure you that you are doing the right thing and even if the children don't understand right away, please don't be discouraged.
It's a very hard thing you are doing, but it is right if it is right for you. No guarantees that your husband will get sober if you leave, but the chances are greatly increased the more he stands to lose.
We are here for you when you need support.
Hugs. ((()))
