[quote=Anonymous]I think OP is significantly underestimating the odds that she can successfully insist upon supervised visitation. The family courts have plenty of issues but: (1) being skewed against wives/mothers is not one of them; (2) tolerating drinking is not one if them; and (3) supervised visitation is not necessarily "expensive" to the state; a friend in a similar situation had the court appoint her MIL as the supervisor. Her MIL has her own set of issues but she loves the kids and keeps them safe and it keeps her exhusband's family as a part of the kid's lives.

OP should at least meet with a decent attorney before concluding divorce or separation is too risky. If she's not willing to educate herself more on that option, then saying that leaving him is not an option does come across a bit like an excuse to do nothing. (And if she's not ready for divorce, this seems like one of those rare situations where separation has a non-trivial chance of avoiding a divorce if the husband is committed to and capable of changing).[/quote]
