Wives of Alcoholics Community Group
A forum of healing and help for wives of alcoholics.
Today, I got the mail and found a letter for a secret checking account my AH created. In the bank statement was 400.00 worth of transactions at two different liquor stores. I had no idea it existed. He told me his checking were just shorter last month. Apparently, he’s had money wired to this account for sometime now for booze money. I feel so betrayed and honestly, sick. How do you guys handle money??? He blows all of ours constantly. I’m at my wits end. I have two small kids that I need to provide for. Please help.

Ugh. No advice but I feel for you. It is amazing to me that they think spending all of this money on alcohol is ok when you have real expenses and mouths to feed is really frustrating and upsetting. I listen to endless rants about how there is no money for all of these things but there is always money for scotch or beer or whatever. It's unreal. Hugs to you...

I hide money. You have to be one step ahead of them. Even if it is just a little at a time. It’s sad though. I completely understand because I have two young kids and a AH as well. You feel stuck. And I know I get really upset about stuff like that because it is so selfish to be like that with young kids to provide for, let alone play with and spend time with!
