It’s been good for you and your children that your wife moved out. Removing the toxic person from your environment allows you to distance from the toxic loop you and your children were experiencing.

When someone abuses alcohol the way your wife does you are constantly subjected to the mood swings that take place with the varying levels of alcohol in their system. At times these individuals can get rather mean and unpredictable. It gets worse with age because as we age we naturally become more sensitive to any drug. Once someone gets near or into their fifties they slowly lose more control. The hormonal levels change adding even more fluctuations in moods.
