[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Better for you to go to Al-Anon. They have a ton of phone meetings daily if getting to meetings is too much.

This will help you focus on taking care of yourself. [/quote]

My husband was an alcoholic.  We were married for 8 years before having kids.  All the begging, pleading and arguing made no difference for him.  The day I came home to find my 9 month old crawling around the house and him passed out in bed was the day I was done.  There was no more anger for me, no tears, just quiet. I was done. The good news was it must have scared him too.  He went into treatment and never had another drink.  He had been in treatment before but this was different. He got a sponsor, got very involved in AA.  He's sober 17 years now.  Hang in there OP but protect yourself and protect your kids. for me, it felt like I was a single parent - shouldering all the responsibility for me, my child and ultimately him since he couldn't be counted on for anything. It sucks.  I wish you luck. [/quote]
