[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Listen, my husband isn't a saint. He's an alcoholic (yes, he's been "sober" for a few years, but he goes to meetings (it's yet another thing we are juggling every damn week) and his own struggles have made my own life hell. I was raised by a drunk dad and know how terrible it is). I forgave him when he admitted he had a drinking problem during the pandemic and got evening out patient treatment but it's unfair to be like he's a saint! No one is a saint. He's a good parent (oddly even when he was drinking he was an attentive, involved parent, he was just angry all the time. Now, he's all "I feel this" or "I hear that" or "let's keep our streets clean and be transparent" -- tons of AA speak.

So, all of you who think I'm just terrible, just be clear, I'm not. I am human. But I still deserve to be viewed as an adult with a say. [/quote]

Wow.

I grew up with an alcoholic mom, so I know how awful it is to live with one. But you're putting quotes around "sober" and complaining about his AA meetings when he's sober for a few years? Honestly you might need to consider splitting up so you can figure out how to take care of your kids full-time because he already seems capable of doing so...

I don't know where you get this attitude of what you deserve. You want to be treated like an adult? Then act like one.[/quote]
