I didn’t think I’d be here again so soon. Only 6 months sober… Started off with a couple drinks here and there. Promises of having it under control. We compromised on limits of how many drinks etc.. then today came. Like any other day, I was cleaning up after our baby.. my BIL calls and said they are drunk at work and that a friend was driving them home. Bro said that they didn’t want to call me so he was called instead. BIL is now picking him up to stay.
I told them that if anything like this were to happen again, I’m done. And I want to be done so bad but seeing my oldest in pain is killing me. I don’t want to break up our family. We were doing so well and then this happens… our relationship is good when it’s good and they are a great parent but who knows how long they’ve been sneaking drinks at work.. my heart hurts… this is the hardest decision of my life..
Has anyone stuck it out and they actually did change? Or has anyone left and are better off?
