Stuck in a Loop with my wife

I am right now separating from my husband and divorcing. We can commiserate. My husband has been abusive, and I am leaving him now for the second time.

I have followed your story all this time - it's news that she drinks so much alcohol all day every day. That explains a LOT.

I agree with divine here. Take care of the kids and yourself. Your wife is no longer your concern. Your greatest concern is your children's well being - she has caused damage to them, and if there's no intervention, it could be very damaging to them for years to come. Do what you need to do, but remove yourself and distance yourself from your soon to be ex wife.

Have been away from this site for a while. Very concerned at what I've been reading.

Agree with other posters, you and your children need support. The only person who can make your wife get help is herself.

The comments about alcoholics have been interesting. I have a family member who cannot hold her drink. Every time I visited their house, she had a glass in her hand. One time, when bragging about her weight loss, she said "I'm going to WW so I can drink more". She never appears drunk, just aggressive and rude. Yet she holds down a full-time job.

I cannot add anything new to the comments already made. All I can do is hope you and your children can move on positively
