Came upon this post… I’m on the same boat. I have my oldest going to college out of state and I can’t disrupt him leaving to college if I tell him I can’t be married to his father anymore. We also have a 7 year old girl and loves her dad. I AM STUCK!
I just found out he’s hiding the liquor but can’t confront him. Like you, he will take it out on something else and smash it up. He binge drinks and “I only drink in the weekend” is his response. I thought he was the only person to use that exact line. Like said “war cry”
I’m glad I’m not alone, but no one is close enough for me to express it openly to.
I’m hoping someone can provide guidance because I’m an tired, stuck, frustrated, ashamed and all the horrible feelings tied to being married to an alcoholic in complete denial.
