I'm sorry to hear about your family, I can relate to your situation.
I am 24 yrs old, got married to my husband at 22 we both drank allmost daily together before I started cutting back, he kept up the same pace, he is a serious alchoholic, which I didnt realize or wouldnt admit for a long time.
When I got pregnant last year and had to totally give up all alcohol, my husband didnt deem me fun enough to hang out with or spend any time with at all. He emotionally abandoned me when I needed him the most. I was not ready for a baby and was having a hard time accepting the fact that I was pregnant. So I decided to move out for a while to make him see what he was missing, finally after lie after lie and giving him many chances to make it right with me, I decided to end our relationship for good.
He has put me through hell over the past year that we have been separated, I really thought he was the ONE, and he left me broken hearted and alone throughout my entire pregnancy .
Our son is allmost 7 months old now and the best thing that ever happened to me, I have gotten no help from my deadbeat husband, he owes me over $2,000 in child support and never visits Devin or calls to see how hes doing, he's missed EVERYTHING so far and it is so sad! I'm still hurting but its getting better, I feel more hurt for my son who is missing out on having a dad. And I truly believe that my husband chose alcohol over me and our son.
Addiction is a powerful thing I'm glad to here you've givin it up, good luck to you!-April
