[quote=Anonymous]I have long thought of leaving him, but have been told by several lawyers that even though he has a history of drinking and driving both with and w/o the kids in the car, among other things, he will get overnight with the kids. At least living in the same house, I can keep tabs and intervene when I can.  If we split, best case scenario is ignition interlock on his car and temporary urine testing and commitment to not drink when kids are with him.  After some time 'dry' he will have unsupervised/monitored custody.  I have known him for 20 years.  He is not physically dependent in the classic sense.  He can stay 'dry' long enough to get past any court supervision and then it will be up to me (and the kids?) to monitor if he drinks around them and keep them safe.  Also, one of our children is autistic and needs 24/7 supervision.  I want to try one more time to get him help. Maybe an intervention?   Please recommend your best therapists, counselors, interventionists, rehab clinics, etc.  It's my last shot to try to keep my kids safe from his drinking.  [/quote]
