Hi there, new to this board..Here's me dilemma:
Ive been married 10 yrs, have 2 kids under 8 yrs old.Been with husb for over 11 yrs though. His son (my stepson) is a teen now and moved in w/us again..first time since he was 9 yrs old Ive lived with him..Have no relationship at all w/him..My husb has his 2nd DUI coming up...will get ankle bracelet to monitor him and have to take random BAC's for one year per the court, plus Alcohol Classes, etc...Was debating to myself and friend and one brother if I should file for divorce before all this starts,,because once he has the ankle bracelet on, I would have hard time getting him to leave,I want to stay in our home with our 2 kids., he would have to leave w/ his son...Anyone ever been here before? Im in my mid 30's and should know what to do, have neither parent any longer and hardly any family..My oldest child is diabetic and between that and husb. drinking,,and his temper and such,,Im really tired of it ..could care for my two kids without the stress of him and his son...He makes the money,,,I only work PT and am thinking of going back to school soon,,,He has never hit me,,but punched the wall over my pillow in bed and knocked a cup out of my hand, thrown remote control into wall, etc..But wonder if this will escalate over time? Any advice or comments would be very helpful..sorry so long..Thank you, God Bless,,,

Tigermom,
I was pretty sure I was right on the money when I asked if your father was an alcoholic.
