Re: Worrying developments, kids included

I went back and looked at your original post. From what I gather, he stopped drinking when you gave him the ultimatum? Did you both go to counseling? The reason I asked is if he stopped drinking abruptly and is an alcoholic, then a lot of his bizarre behavior could be due in part to withdrawal symptoms. If I got it wrong, it could be that he is mentally ill. Either way, it sounds like it's a very bad situation.

I'm also gathering that you feel the situation has deteriorated so badly that any chance of things improving is non-existant? In other words, it's highly unlikely he will get help for his problems? If this is the case, then, IMO, it's best to move on.

It's good that you have enough money to start fresh. Again, the domestic abuse hotline in your area can give you some very good advice on how to proceed. Also, see if you can have a consultation with a good divorce lawyer. This is really essential to protect your assets, and most importantly to protect your kids.

I wish you all the best! Tweet
