[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  I do not have my mom's support to divorce my husband.  My dad was drunk a lot too, and my dad never did any housework or took care of me.  To my mom, my husband is way better than my dad, therefore she doesn't think it's a big deal if the only problem with this man is his drinking.  Really?!  I have no husband at night, he's never present at night, that's not enough reason?  [/quote]

Friend, that is enough of a reason. You don't need your mom's support. If you leave for "less" alcoholism than she stayed for, then she has to face the fact that she made an unhealthy choice. So it's easier for her to say that you should just accept this situation. She did a lot of accepting things she shouldn't have. You don't have to follow in her footsteps.

I would definitely consult an attorney here to figure out the best way to go about it. You want to know what the odds of him getting 50/50 custody are and what kind of documentation you need for his alcoholism. You also need and deserve your own therapy and support (Al-Anon).

Your mom is not the arbiter of what is healthy and what is not. Look to mental health professionals for that. [/quote]
