[quote=Anonymous]My brother feels completely trapped.  He’s known his wife since they were teenagers but married 10 years.  Unfortunately after their 2nd child the anxiety she had that was well-controlled by meds became not.  She then turned to Xanax and alcohol and has been in and out of rehab for past 3 years.  My brother has been a virtually single parent during this time with the help of grandparents.  He really wanted to make it work as he loves her (sober) but she just can’t seem to beat this disease and he is beyond stressed and miserable.  But he feels trapped because right now he can make sure his young kids are safe in the house/he drives them everywhere, but if he were to pursue a divorce she would likely get some custody where he’d be worried sick about their safety.  Not to mention, if alcoholism is a disease, he feels like crap divorcing her over it but it’s destroyed their lives.  I feel so bad for him and his current plan to live in misery and stress until kids are teenagers (5 more years).  [/quote]
