[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry you're in this situation. You're definitely between a rock and a hard place. However, I do want to caution you to not listen to the posters that say that AA is the ONLY way. It may help some, but it's 'higher power' and history of treating white men with wives has disenfranchised a lot of people, many of whom have found recovery through other routes. There are medications he can try - from Antibuse to Vivitol (injections that reduce cravings), other meetings (SmartRecovery), and online supports such as the Facebook group The Alcohol Experiment. There is lots of help out there waiting for him. Move into the 21st century, connect him to an alcohol and drug counselor who is willing to look outside the box, and cross your fingers that one of these approaches speaks to him.

You're not likely to get full custody unless he agrees to it. BTDT. [/quote]

DP - all of the above is true, but what I see missing in OP's posts is her husband's willingness/readiness to seek help. That's a very hard place to be.[/quote]
