[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm so sorry, for you and your kids. [b]Please remember to talk to your kids about the genetic component of addiction [/b](this will be a talk you have multiple times as they grow up) that they need to watch out for. Yes, it sounds like if your DH had tried to stop without medical intervention he would have dealt with serious medical issues, so he might have been caught between a rock and a hard place. Addiction is a terrible thing. [/quote] +100 My maternal grandfather and my mother were/are alcoholics and I have been careful about drinking myself since I took my first sip. I have also talked to my kids, who are now 10, about it in age-appropriate ways their whole lives. I hope you and your kids are in therapy, jointly and separately, and that they continue that their whole lives. I'm so sorry for what happened to you, I can only hope you and your children can break the cycle. [/quote]
