Hard day
My husband has been on a binge since Thursday. He came home for a few hours on Friday to basically sleep a couple of hours, take a shower and leave. I didn't call him all weekend (not that it would have done any good). Today he finally called me and asked if he could come get some of his clothes. I took it that he was moving out. I told him that I was tired of his lack of responsibility and that I wasn't giving him any of his clothes. I told him that I would rather throw them in the front yard and set them on fire than to give them to him! We have three children and he is worried about a change of clothes!!! Don't worry honey I will take care of the children and all of the bills!! You can go ahead and drink, act single and show no responsiblity!! I Thank God that my children are great kids and that they have a mother that loves them more than anything!!! He will probably get his clothes - I am just disappointed! He was supposed to be in recovery... again! He can't stay sober much more than 4 months. I know I can only control myself and no one else! We have been through this many times over the years and I am just sad. This is a person that knows me better than anyone else in the world. Unfortunately, he is an alcoholic! I know that the kids and I will get through this. I will take it a minute, hour or day at a time. It will get better!!!

I have a husband that sounds very similar to yours. The binges, staying gone for long periods of time, not responsible, etc. I would love to know what is going on with you now and talk more about our situations. It helps me a lot to talk to someone else in the same boat.
