[quote=Anonymous]I left my alcoholic husband after 20+ years of marriage. It has been about 2 years and we are now divorced. I can say that it was the best decision I have made, even despite the heartache. For me, the turning point came when the addiction specialist said to me, "how much lower can you lower your barre to stay with him?" I realized how much I had taken on because he couldn't. He could not hold down a job, pay bills, watch the kids in a responsible manner etc. He is still not in treatment. I also want to mention that the posters who are saying that you shouldn't leave because your kids would then be left alone with an alcoholic, please realize that your kids 1: likely have already been left alone with their alcoholic parent even in a married household, and 2: there are things like Soberlink that you can use to ensure the alcoholic parent is sober before and during visitation.[/quote]
