You are doing a wonderful job with these blogs. I have not even gotten the nerve to try one. I think it is great to have one for your primatives and dolls and another for more personal stuff. Hugs, Sunshine

It is hard to see what is happening and know what to do. Go to ANON … they will help you to find the answers and support YOU emotionally. If you need to leave him, your boys will still have a father … just not under the same roof. You can make it on your own if you have too and in the long run, it might be better for your boys. AND their father might get help for himself to get back on the road to recovery.

But find your own way first. Please go to ANON.

i understand your life is not your own at the moment but when you have a second I messaged you at Ravelry about Lucky 13 group disbanding, if you could go in and officially leave the group then I can get it off the boards, thank you and know my prayers are with you through your troubles!!!

I was living with a wonderful man who was a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. I did not know him when he was drinking or drugging, just since he was a few years sober. He is now a drug and alcohol counselor and attends meetings as much as possible. From listening to him and attending meetings with him, I have learned that most likely he will need to hit bottom first. Not to make you feel worse. Sometimes they need to lose or almost lose everything to really see a problem. He may know he is an alcoholic but still not think there is a real problem.

My suggestion is to get help for yourself, whether it be counseling or Alanon. You need to be the strong one for your children and unfortunately there is probably not much you can do to help your husband, only he can do that.

He may need rehab and definitely needs meetings, as many as possible, even multiple times a day and a good sponsor.

I hope this has helped and not hurt you too much, this was meant to be supportive. Feel free to write if you like.

Oh, Jen. What a sucky situation. If there is anything I can do to help (besides sending all kinds of positive vibes and stuff like that your way) please let me know.

I am sorry to hear of your troubles, please know my thoughts and prayers are with you Both of my parents were alcoholics, so I have some understanding on a different level, but you are right, it messes up families huge!!!

*HUGS!*
I am for families sticking together but there does come a time where accountability comes into the situation. As a single mom, you can do more on your own than you think you can.

You stood by him the first time, you can stand by him again. Be aware and be firm that it will be the last time. IF you don’t stand up for you and your children, he will keep doing it over and over and over again.

I quit smoking because I don’t want my daughter to smoke. If the parent is an alcoholic there is a good chance that the child can become one too. You need to look to your heart and make the right decision for you and your family.
Get any and all information that you can. Check out Alanon (alcoholics anon) there is a group for alcoholic families in your area. Big Hugs!!! My dad was an alcoholic and there were times in my life where I could have called myself one and if it weren’t through my own awareness and doing something about it, I would have gone that way.

If you have not gone to Alanon, do so ASAP. It really will help - find a good group that will be supportive, and help you understand. If the group focuses on blaming the alcoholic, find another one. There may also be groups for your boys, depending on their ages. I won’t say “good luck” because luck isn’t what helps - or works. But my best wishes for getting through.
