My husband is a functioning alcoholic. I am tired of the lies and manipulations. He has 1 DUI and is always driiving under the influence (we have a breathalizer). I am scared that if I divorce him, he will have the kids on the weekends. He goes to bed every night by 8:00 or 8:30, and sleeps so deeply you can barely wake him. Our young (3 and 4) children could be left unattended for long periods of time due to this. When he is awake, he is often drunk. He thought it would be a good idea for our 4 year old to come help him with power tools after 4 beers last week. His judgement is poor, and he spends very little time interacting with the kids, and he is often drunk, though most people wouldn't know it. We have been in therapy for over a year, and he has admitted that he has a problem, and says he is going to stop. Though he is the weakest person I know, and I find it unlikely he will succeed. What do I do regarding the kids?
I am also concerned about our finances. He is taking money out of our account without telling me, we almost bounced our mortgage check. I am also afraid that if he kills someone on the road we could get sued and lose our house. Can I take his name off of the house???
