10 years ago, I got pregnant and married a man whom I thought I loved. Throughout our marriage, he went to bars on a daily basis and left me to raise our daughter. When he wasn't drinking at the bar, he would bring the beer home and drink there. A few years later, "celebrating" my new job, our youngest daughter was concieved. We bought a house, and I opened up a daycare to stay home with the kids. He still drank. When he would wake up in the morning, I was scared. His hangovers were terrible. I was accused one time of throwing out his shorts (when they were out in the garage, boxed up) He always controlled everything. When I even mentioned his alcololism, he would deny it. When I mentioned how depressed I was, he asked me if he was going to find "his" children drowned in the bathtub. My spirit and soul is gone. I have looked at an apartment and will move this weekend. My daughter is VERY upset with me. How can I re-assure her this is the BEST decision for all of us?
