Answer:

I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. I just got my divorce final 3 days ago and it was because my husband was always out drinking. I guess I can be grateful he wasn't here drinking in front of the kids, but he was literally never home.

As the years wore on (six years total together, two dealing with alcohol issues), I knew I couldn't take it anymore. It was killing me and my kids. It was hard because I still love him so much and wish I could save him, yet I know I can't...so I must save us instead. Good luck!
