New to Forum
Dad of 2, husband to an alcoholic and new to forum. Wife has relapsed again putting the kids and I in a situation where we are living at my parents house. Will ultimately be using the forum as a source for information and reaching out for advice as needed while the kids and I work our way through our current transition.

Hi AlDad
Welcome to SR and sorry to hear about your situation, I can't really advise as I'm talking from the alcoholic (albeit sober) point of view. I'm glad you and the children are in a place of safety and hope you find a way forward. Do you think your wife will be able to find her way back to sobriety? How did she manage it before? It would be worth posting in the family and friends forum, there are bound to be lots of good sources of advice there,
love Billy x

I’m sorry for what brings you here but you’ll find a lot of support and good ideas here, both in this forum - and our family and friends forums too.

I'm so sorry ALDadinOH. That is so tough. You and the kids are safely away from the situation and I would stay there as long as you can. I would only move back towards your spouse at all after she shows you sustained actions - not words - no more words - sustained actions that show you she is sober and working on and embracing her recovery. Otherwise the kids and you are not safe.
I was your wife. I did that to my family and I strung them out so much that I nearly lost all of them. I have them back now. Nothing will ever be the same because of all the damage I did to those relationships. But I have them back in my life because I SHOWED them I was safe. Make her show you.
