I was coming over to ask why this was labeled politics also.

Yes. Not much though. We live in the same town. And he may not be a true alcoholic, but when we were together he was drunk at least 3 nights a week (sometimes more than 3). He does have a job, so that's a plus. And the divorce process was not bad at all for us. We worked it out together and used no attorneys. I'm sure I could have gotten more, but I'm ok with where I'm at. And I'm MUCH happier now. I don't know what you mean by "true alcoholic" but getting drunk that much fits the bill in my book. My XDH was a functioning alcoholic, too. I think that clouds things and may have made me hang on way longer than I should have. If I could talk to my younger self, I'd tell her to get your ducks in a row and plan your out asap as soon as DS was born. They deserved better especially after what they shared after. (Verbal bs) Good luck to you and your kids. You are doing what's best. Thank you!! Sounds like we were kind of in the same boat. When were you able to get your ducks in a row?

In a perfect world I would avoid the argument with my parents that was, in retrospect petty, and which happened shortly before my mum had a stroke and was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s . I’ve had no relationship with my father, sister and niece/nephew for years ( my mother died some years ago.) Deep down, I know the split would have happened at some other time because of what was going on, but I can’t help wishing I could have prevented all the heartache .
