No one could possibly understand how lonely it is (emotionally) being married to this type of person. His control and anger are manifestations from the illness. I was afraid when I told him about the affair. For my life actually. But I knew I had to tell him, get rid of the affair, and come clean. He’s doing better controlling his aggression, and he’s agreed to medication management. Covid is just delaying everything.

Our primary responsibility is to protect our children as they cannot protect themselves.
If he is physically abusive to your young children, you need to call police and child protective services immediately, and you might need take your children and proceed to domestic abuse shelter right now. I see that you already had CPS in your home. Why aren’t you pressing charges? Are you afraid of him?

Please seek help for your children. Is there a family member who could take them for now?
Where are your children when you drink with that man? Are they alone with a physically abusive father? I’d say affair is the least of everyone’s troubles here
