[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again here with an update.

As I said in my earlier update, about a week and a half ago I asked DH to go stay somewhere else until he's established in a treatment program and not going to put DD at risk again. He's been staying with a family member who doesn't drink. In that time, he's come over a few times to play with our daughter, including this evening.

He said tonight that he's been happier during this time apart than he has in recent weeks living with me and DD. This made me sad, for him and for us.

Parenting solo is making me very tired - though I know it was my choice to ask him to go.

Tomorrow will be our second session with the couples counselor so we'll see how that goes. He is hoping to explore there why he's doing so well living without us.

He had his first alcohol treatment program session yesterday. He said he hasn't had any urges to drink since living separately.

I thought we had so much good going for us and tonight really took the wind out of my sails. I know it's a good thing if he's not having urges but there seems to be a suggestion that he drank because of me/our family.

On a happier note, my best friend flew in this past weekend and it was great to see her and have her support.

I'm hanging in there, mostly.[/quote]

I'm sure it's less stress during a detox period to be free from responsibilities.  It was never you or your child.  Take that to the bank.  Prayers for you two to work it out when he gets well.[/quote]
