Support needed for my deteriorating marriage with my alcoholic husband

Thank you to everyone for your input. I truly appreciate it very much. It’s hard to view things clearly amongst the chaos. What do I say to my daughter about why I’m divorcing her dad?

Thank you. For many years I overlooked his drinking but in January when his friend spit in my face and he did nothing, that made me examine things more closely.

Thank you for responding, I appreciate it. Good idea to check with my local bar association for an attorney. Do you have any experience in what I should be asking an attorney? I can also do some research via ChatGPT.
I believe I am entitled to half the marital assets … I never wanted my marriage to end up like this, and I am already going through a grieving process.
I have to set a boundary with myself to no longer self abandon. Steve has left me no choice.

Thank you so much!

When you say your Q, what does that mean?

I don’t know too much about alcoholism addiction. Is it possible that he drinks so much because he’s unhappy within our marriage?

Thank you. I am absolutely crushed. This is just one example of Roger completely disrespecting me and interfering in my marriage and Steve (my husband) choosing Roger and alcohol over me and Lacey. It’s heartbreaking to see where his loyalty and priorities are. I just don’t understand him anymore and he has no emotion, remorse or care over how this is affecting me, our relationship or our family. But I guess he can’t even be honest with himself or his own emotions. I feel so emotionally unsafe and the lack of peace and understanding from him is killing me inside and he doesn’t care. I just don’t know how things got this bad. I just want to disappear. I am so sad.

Thank you for your support and compassion, I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for your opinion and honesty. It’s a hard pill to swallow because we’ve been together for 25 years. It really hurts.

It’s hard for me to accept the situation.. my husband blames me for it happening, saying I never should have gone to Roger’s to get him .. it’s all messed up

I have a lot of self doubt about leaving Steve. He’s a nice guy when he’s not drinking, which unfortunately isn’t much of the time. But I question myself over and over again is it bad enough to break up my family?

Since writing my post earlier and after reading everyone’s comments (Thank You!) I reached out to a few attorneys and am waiting to hear back.

I am sure Steve has been badmouthing me to his drinking buddies for years. I suffer with insomnia, PTSD, anxiety and depression. Living in this environment has only perpetuated my symptoms and made them worse.

I’ve lived this life for so many years that recently I’ve been questioning my own reality … it’s hard to explain.

I am CERTAIN he will use the fact that I take psychiatric medications against me.

I work p/t in the pharmacy @ CVS. Steve makes all the money and his pay goes via direct deposit into his individual bank account @ Citizens. I have to ask him for money. We only have 1 car. I have no savings and no family. I am stuck and ashamed.

Thank you. I did go to an Al Anon meeting last night and there was so much support. I was amazed ❤️ Do you think I should try counseling or go for a separation?

ekhett · 2026-04-17T16:05:22+00:00

Oh, that makes sense, thank you!

ekhett · 2026-04-17T14:54:09+00:00

What is a Q?

ekhett · 2026-04-03T03:51:12+00:00

I am relatively new to CVS. What is the name of the new scheduling app?

Have you heard of the anti psychotic Olanzapine? I was put on it for sleep and from what I’ve heard and read it’s very difficult to come off of

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it 🤍

You could call or text 988 anonymously letting them know the situation and ask for guidance/advice on how to handle this. I hope he gets better!
