this is a weird situation. i'm married to a "good" man who i thought loved and cared for us. he turned out to be bipolar, impotent, and a compulsive liar. he hasn't had a drink in the entire time we've been together (5 years) because he "valued" sobriety. because of his unstable personality, i have separated from him. he lives 2,000 miles away, but stays in touch and has been financially supportive. my 13 year old son overheard a conversation in which i told my estranged husband that i was very sad he chose to get drunk last night and i hoped that he would get help. my son asked what was wrong, and i told him that his dad called last night (christmas eve) and left several messages, that he had gotten drunk and that we (my son and i) would continue to move forward with our lives and that we can pray for his dad, but that we can't help him, that we didn't cause it and can't control it. was i wrong to tell him something that further creates disappointment in his dad?
