I am feeling depressed because my husband is a alcholic, every free minute he gets he drinks it even drives me to drink. I am depressed with our marriage but stay with him because of our two young kids. The other day he was so drunk he threw up all over the house to wich the kids had to witness. All he could say was you clean it up and then he went to bed. I drink just to tune him out don't know what else to do. Upset an depressed any suggestions?

I think you already know what you have to do, leave him! He will never change and don't let your children witness such behavior-it will have a lasting effect on them.Never stay in a marriage because of the children, because most of the time they are much happier people when the parents aren't together. Leave and start fresh

Stop drinking with him. Your drinking is going to make the situation worse. Find an Al-Anon meeting. This is a support group for the family members of alcoholics, These groups are usually held in churches or hospitals in the city. You talk about staying for the children. What are you teaching the children by allowing them to observe negative behavior not only from their dad, but you also. Children are what they see, what they hear and how they live.
If you have family or close friends in the area, let them know what is going on and and pehaps they can assist you with the children. Sounds like you are a stay at home mom. Perhaps it is time to change that also.
Fist things first. Alcoholism is a disease that affects the family mentally, physically and emotionally.. For the alcoholic, one drink is too many and 100 drinks are not enough.

Ah, sorry to hear about your hubby being an alcoholic and even more sorrier you are with him. You should sit down with him (when the two of you are sober) to have a serious talk with him and tell him how you feel about his drinking and how it affects you and your children. Does he want to quit drinking? If not, he's going to be like this for the rest of his life, and /or it'll only get worse. If he wants to change, it's going to take alot of willpower and only he can change. You can't make him or force him to do it. The first step is your hubby realizes that he is an alcoholic and to get help. May God be with your family.
