[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP think about how a broken home will affect the children.  As a family member said to me when I was thinking of leaving DH - "it takes two people to make a marriage work and two people to make a marriage fail"[/quote]
Seriously?  That's not even close to true.

This thread has got to be a record for the worst advice given.  [/quote]

+1 for worst advice ever.  As a mom, it was my responsibility to protect my kids from my ex-spouse's alcoholism when he demonstrated that he was not willing to stop drinking.  His alcoholism is not something that I chose, and it is not something that I can change.  He made the choice to end the marriage when he refused to get help for his drinking.

Please read up on Adult Children of Alcoholics.... parental alcoholism has long term inter-generational negative impacts.

In this situation, divorce is the lesser of two evils.

I am proud that I gave my kids a loving, healthy, stable family home to grow up in.  Their maternal great grandfather was a mean alcoholic.  Their maternal grandmother was a lovely woman who went to rehab several times and was still drinking at the end of her life.  Their father also had a drinking problem.  I hope that I am raising my kids in a way that they have a healthy relationship with alcohol, appropriate to their serious family medical risk of alcoholism.  [/quote]
