Life
Thought I posted earlier but saying I haven't, please don't think I want to write twice, only once. I have a husband who is a alcoholic, and life lately has been rough. We have always lived a roller coaster life but lately seems to be more bad then good lately. He comes and goes as he pleases, bar right after work home when everybody is in bed, stays out very late, we have 3 kids, who know he isn't home much. He says why does it matter your sleeping, well every time I'm not sleeping. He can be very nasty and moody, and well turn things back on me, it's hard to not take it personal. I'm confused, alone, and don't know what to do, I have asked him to leave, I get back I'm not going anywhere you married me, get over yourself, and I'm not changing your love isn't enough for me to do that. It's such a lonely life that I never wanted, I want a husband not a room mate that comes and goes as he pleases. Glad I found this site.

there is nothing wrong with what you are asking for, you deserve it. sounds like your husband is an alcoholic, which might be impossible to deal with. but what ever, i would put your kids as number one.
come to the chat room and talk to people who can relate to you and your hubby.

Your husband isn't acting much like a husband, is he? Have you considered going to AlAnon meetings for support for yourself? Here's the link to the forum Dee mentioned. Give it a look and see if you find any familiar stories.

Hi Sunhat! Welcome! Don't worry about your love not being enough to change your H. We pretty much start out with The Three C's: you didn't Cause it, you can't Control it and you can't Cure it. There are also some great posts at the top of the Friends and Family board called stickies with some great info.
