Selling your home is one of the top stressful things a person can go through. It means change and unknowns and adjustments. It’s also very stressful to live in your home and have to deal with having it “show ready” at any time for potential buyers. Add to that the stress of needing it to sell in order to buy your next dwelling.

You have additional major stressors with not only your wife wanting a divorce you don’t want but your wife had developed alcohol use disorder that makes her behaviors very unpredictable and at times very selfish and caustic that not only upset you but also your two sons.

There is a reason alcoholism is described as a narcissistic disease. Narcissists lie and even have their flying monkeys ( like that group of women) that lie and believe their own lies and within this mindset is the denial of having alcohol addiction (any addiction).

A lie is still a lie no matter how often it is repeated or who believes it. It destroys relationships and breaks apart families. Believe me, you are not the only one struggling with everything you have shared. You definitely deserve support.

Take things one day at a time and don’t buy into the toxic your wife brings in. The less you have to deal with her, the better. The same is true for your two sons. Your wife has made very unhealthy choices and that’s on her, not you.
