Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
My dad was an alcoholic. I have many memories driving home with him (drunk at the wheel), my mom and my siblings from family BBQ's white knuckled, stomach and heart in my throat, praying to get home alive. My mom never asked to drive, she was a severe enabler. The other night, my husband, 15 yr old daughter and I were at a family house party, he had too much too drink, he insisted on driving as I cannot drive his car, to boot his defrost was not working. Memories came flooding back from my childhood, I felt ill, I could only imagine what my daughter was thinking/feeling. Course this was not the first time he drove drunk. I feel like I want to divorce him to show and prove to my daughter that his actions are not to be tolerated. I want to show her I care for her well being. I want to show her he is not a good role model. Am I an enabler? Should I divorce him for her?? So complicated. Please help!?
You might want to see a counselor or therapist and talk to them about the situation you are in talk through getting a divorce.
