[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your situation with an abusive, cheating ex is quite different from a normal divorce.  You should be seeking support from groups/organizations who support abused women.  IMO, the trauma you suffered probably makes it hard to completely quit drinking, and yet you have been able to cut back significantly, yet not completely. Still you are making progress.  Please consult with counselg but it is unlikely you would lose custody over the amount you drink.

You may not be the best mom, but you also are not the worst or dangerous, IMO.  Is your exDH constantly on you that you are a bad mom?  Is he paying any child support?  That kind of “your a terrible person and a bad mom” language is a form of emotional abuse.

What is your primary problem in not being able to get stable employment? Maybe some of us can help with ideas.  If it’s been 2 years, your infant should be a toddler and your toddler should be in prek 3 or 4.  Have you tried getting access to income qualified preK in MoCo? That should help with daycare while you work.  What is your living sotuation? [/quote]

This. I went to alcohol to deal with abuse. I fled. Having teouble 2 years later with stability. Getting sober.[/quote]
