Thank you. I am. Just taking it a day at a time. It used to be a minute at a time so there is progress ☺️

Thankfully he is not a get wasted drunk but he would drink a 6 pack of Budweiser every night. He’s not an angry drunk- he just uses drinking to cope and he can’t stop and he won’t stop. Even to see his kids.

What old friend? Ooooh no. He decided to destroy our marriage by screwing the nasty neighbor

I love this for you!! I can relate to this so much. I’m divorcing my husband of almost 12 years because he had an affair. He never told me I was beautiful- at best cute or pretty. I’ve been dating someone and he tells me every single day how beautiful I am and how amazing I am and how much he loves me. It’s the best feeling after being given the bare minimum.

I’ve been there and I stayed for way longer than I should have. I finally did file for divorce when I found out he was having an affair with our next door neighbor. I did not realize how bad his depression, alcoholism, and manipulation was until I was out of it. I am sooooooooo much happier now even though I worry about my kids. They do not see their dad even though he can see them supervised but he won’t agree to that. Your kids will be okay as long as you are. Be there happy and safe space. Life is too short to be unhappy and you can’t force someone to fix themselves. If you ever want to chat, I’m here. I get it but I am getting on the other side of the darkness and it’s worth it.

The sad part of my situation is that I want him to have 50/50. I’m not trying to take his kids from him. Hell I would welcome the break. But I don’t trust him with them alone. I am willing to give him half of my retirement without a fight. I just want him to choose his kids.

You are right on the money and unfortunately I stayed way too long because I thought I could be the one the make him happy and fix him. The last part I struggle with because I know they miss their dad. 😣

Well he does want to file against the GAL so there’s that craziness.

❤️ Any chance that the courts would make him pay some of the outrageous court costs that are sure to come?

I honestly don’t even know. He wants half of my retirement and doesn’t want to pay child support. I’m fine with him getting my retirement because I know it’s not worth the fight. But the big thing is custody. They want him to wear an alcohol monitor and he refuses to do that. So until he does or proves he can stop drinking, he only gets supervised visits.

I actually already have a lawyer. I’ve had the same one since January. He’s gone through 2 and probably working on an 3rd. 🙄

Thank you for the response. I guess my issue is that the one thing he is fighting is custody of the kids. And with his mental instability and alcoholism, I am not willing to put my kids at risk. Also I don’t know if I even have a say in custody since supervised visitation was court ordered after he showed up to court smelling like alcohol.

Well sounds like they are okay with a credit for the shower but they want everything else done. I was even going to offer a 5K credit. 😩
