[quote=Anonymous]OP, your husband is the child of an alcoholic, and he's perpetuating decades of training/indoctrination/shame/guilt/codependency/pain/covering up etc... I HIGHLY recommend a counselor or some ACOA meetings for you and your husband. You can figure this out. Try not to take it too personally, with issues like this your husband is responding/managing it far more like the child was raised in this environment than like the rational mature adult you married. It isn't conscious and these are very hard patterns to change. I grew up w/ a father with raging alcohol, drug, and violence issues. It is a lifelong battle for me to overcome what I was taught, so I feel for your husband. I'm not excusing it, you have every right to be upset, I'm just trying to help explain why he might have much less ability to be the man you know him to be with this particular part of his life. Good luck.[/quote]
