So my DH is an alcoholic. I gave him an ultimatum in July - the drink or his family. He chose to go into rehab. Two weeks ago he finished treatment.

Tonight I came home after a night away with DDs to ComicCon and he was slurring, showing all the signs. So I snooped. Yep, empty bottle of spirits hidden in his backpack.

I confronted him and the first thing he said was 'can we not do this in front of the girls. Oh how the alcoholics like their secrecy. No, H, the girls need to know - they are 14 and 16 and they have been part of all the conversations.

So now my marriage is over. Shit. I am not backing down. This is it, done, finished. No more chances, he's had plenty. I still feel like shit.

DD says if breakfast stays down, she can come home. Fingers crossed she is OK now, I do hope we get some advice on what to do if this happens again (because this is not the first time though last time was not so severe).

Have texted STBXH, still no reply. Once he comes out of his current self-imposed drink-sodden exile no doubt I will get a million texts saying how sorry he is and blablabla... Divorce papers can't come soon enough. Yep, still angry.
