[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not totally clear on why you think the alcohol is the issue.[/quote]

1.  He had a health scare that is exasperated by binge drinking. The doctor told him that the amount he was drinking was considered binge.

2.  When he gets drunk (after the kids go to bed, at least), [b]he'll pick fights with me and say nasty things he'd never say in the middle of the day.

3.  He has become short-tempered and snapping at all of us.  Whether or not that's related, I don't know.  He keeps complaining about being tired and maybe that's b/c he stays up late drinking and then doesn't get a good night's sleep.  This is the 3rd reason I listed b/c the 1st 2 are definitely related to alcohol.[/quote]

Oh OP my heart goes out to you.  I grew up with an alcoholic mother and what I remember more than anything was the Jekyll and Hyde routine that would emerge when my mother started drinking at night and all the terrible nasty things she said.  That will start to be directed to your kids sooner or later and even if the abuse doesn't get physical, it will get emotional... for all of you.  Get to Al Anon, they will help, and start seeing a therapist for yourself and even take your kids once they get old enough. Not sure what age they are now.  My mother eventually passed away from alcoholism and it was a brutal slow death.  All of the signs you are posting about has him on the road to alcoholism. The sooner there is intervention the better. I wish my Dad had done that for his wife, rather than just bury his head in the sand.  Or left her so we didn't have to grow up with it.  Lots of luck![/quote]
