[quote=Anonymous]We have a 1 and 3 year old.  Dh has always been a bit wreckless but is now doing things like sneaking getting wasted and claiming he hasn’t had a drink and is fine to watch the kids - and then the 1 year old gets injured, “watching” the 1 year old as he crawls up the stairs but dh is behind him on his phone and baby falls down a few stairs.  I resent him to my core that I can’t trust him to be responsible with his own children, and it’s adding so much stress to my life (on top of everything else) to always have to be hovering and watching and checking, but I can’t divorce bc then the kids would be with him unsupervised then.  How do I keep living with someone I don’t trust and can’t stand?  How do I do it in a way that doesn’t impact the kids?

His behavior has gotten worse as life responsibilities and stress increases, I didn’t know he’d be this way.  He does have mental health issues he is in treatment for, but it’s only moderately effective. His mental health issues are much much worse when he drinks which is why he hides when he does drink which starts the awful cycle of him pretending to be fine to watch the kid’s, me checking for hidden alcohol and charges for alcohol etc[/quote]
