[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to be a counterweight here, I'm not sure there's enough information to make a decision this definitely. It sounds like he's doing this after the kids are in bed? So they never see him like this. Is it every night? Is the only point of contention /gaslighting about the drinking itself? Or does it entail other claims? I can see that this could be salvaged if some of these are one way.[/quote]

I'm a PP with a formerly high functioning alcoholic (now just an alcoholic). It started with just drinking after the kids were in bed and they had no idea. Then a little day drinking on weekends. Then there was years of white knuckled sobriety. Then there was a horrible relapse that involved passing out drunk in front of the kids, then the addition of anger and yelling absolutely horrible things at me.

Alcohol Use Disorder is progressive. It will always get worse unless the alcoholic goes into recovery. Always. OP may decide to stay (I did!), but the assumption should be that it will always get worse.[/quote]
