My husband is 32 and an attorney that handles lots of domestic cases. Therefore, he sees a lot of heartache out there. While he just admitted last month that he was an alcoholic and asked for help, (was drinking tequila on the ride home from work) the very next day, when the crisis was over, he denied needing any help. I suspect he may be on some type of drug as well but I am not sure what. I have asked him to go to an inpatient treatment center, marital counseling, AA and he says that he is done with the drinking and he no longer has a problem. I know that is not the case. How do I survive the nastiness, insults and lies that he spews in front of the children? My poor daughter (4) is witness to all of this. My son is just 7 months old. While his drinking is not new to me, after 13 years together, with the last 18 months being he is like Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde where do I go from here? This is new to me...
