[quote=Anonymous]Op, I am so sorry to hear this.

I think you have received some really good advice so far, but this really stood out:

[quote]One of the keys to all this is that early on I jettisoned my anger about him and accepted that I could never rely on him for anything - no babysitting, no parenting at all. That recognition has made life much easier for all of us. It’s definitely affected my career negatively and my financial situation (although he pays child support). [/quote]

It doesn't sound like you're really ready to separate or divorce, but I think the above advice will put you in a good position if you decide to do that eventually. I would consult with a divorce lawyer now and find out what you can do to protect yourself financially. Because if your husband is drinking on the job/during the day, it's likely he's not going to be employed at some point.

I'll only say one other thing - and that is don't let him put your supposed "lack of support" on you as the reason he isn't getting help. I would confront him on that every time.

Best of luck.[/quote]
