update on my DH situation

I have been posting about some major issues DH and I have been having. I finally posted on the single parents board and I have to say that taking that small step made me feel so much better. It did wonders for my confidence. Even if the worst were to happen, IT WOULD BE OK. Well, I asked DH to get sober or we were done. He hasn't been drinking at all this entire week. He is home this weekend and not working. It's weird to have him around and not drinking. It's so very nice. I'm still very angry with him, but it's been nice to have company and to feel like I have help with DS. He has done this before, but this time feels different. It doesn't feel different in the way that I think THIS will be the time he gives up his stupid ways for good, but in the way that I know that either way DS and I will be ok. Life goes on and whatever happens, my first priority needs to be DS and his safety and  happiness. So I just wanted to give a fairly positive update for once. Please don't read this as, "My DH didn't drink for a day, he's better!" It's more of a start in the right direction. Thanks for all the support, ladies.

    Hang in there... and thanks for the update.  This must be a very difficult time for you but you sound like you are in a good place (relatively) right now.

    I'll keep you in my thoughts that things stay on this new course.  At least your DH is trying, even though it won't be easy.  And you have a great attitude.  Your DS has a strong mama!

    Wheels, so glad to see a step in the right direction!  I am glad you are feeling more confident and DH seems to have taken your conversation to heart. I will keep you in my thoughts & prayers. :)

    I don't post here regularly, yet so I hope it isn't rude of me to post.  I have a long history of alcoholism in my family.  One thing that might be on your side here is that he may sense the change IN YOU.  I hope this is it - and you are very, very strong.

    I am glad that you now feel more secure in your situation.  I hope your DH really does stop drinking and that your family is able to heal.

    I'm glad things seem to be getting better.  And like you said, you and your son will be ok, no matter what.  I hope that you and DH can work things out, but if not, I was a single parent with Jordan for the first 11.5 years of her life.  It can be done! 

    Best of luck to you.

    Absolutely, me, too!

    I'm so glad we can be there for you through such a difficult time, what a great group of ladies to rally around one of our own!  It's really touching.  :)

    Best of luck, keep thinking positively, and keep staying strong... the best decisions aren't always the easiest.
