[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up with an alcoholic father. Although he never abused us he was a total drain on our home.

Leave for your and kids sake but also for his. He will either get better after getting the message or spiral into death. You can't keep doing this.[/quote] My dad was an alcoholic and spiral into death after the divorce was literally what he did. He died when I was 14 and my parents had been divorced around 10-11 years at that point. It was inordinately stressful as a kid up to that point though. I hated going to spend the weekends with him--dealing with someone who's hungover and won't get out of bed to help you get food in the morning really sucks. Being left to your own devices really sucks. There's no good answer OP--the best you can hope for is he will let you have primary custody. If you're forced to send your daughter to be with him, send snacks and food so she's not left without while he's incapacitated. All that said, it kept me from being an alcoholic--I didn't touch alcohol until my 40s and then I couldn't figure out what the fuss is about. It also contributed to me being a very independent person. I had to be![/quote]
