I would be grateful for some advice, I am considering splitting from DH, things have been bad for a long time and fear of change has kept me in a bad situation for a long time. One of my main concerns is that DH loves to drink, he feels he doesn't have a problem, but he drinks every day and thinks nothing of a Saturday night in drinking 2/3 bottles of wine or 8/10 pints on a night in the pub. Also, when I have left him to look after DC during the day he will always do something they want bike ride for example, but manage to swing past the pub and have a couple of pints or meet up with friends again involving a few drinks. I have managed to shield them from this by rarely leaving them with him on his own, a perfect example is this week I suggested going to London on the train to go to the Zoo, Natural History Musuem etc, his response was great we can also have a really boozy lunch not having to drive, I am horrified how he always wants to drink around the DC's. My question is if we split, he obviously needs to see the DC but without my involvement he will drink when looking after them, what if there is a problem or emergency? Or equally, if he is at the bar, and they are playing outside in my mind they are in potential danger, he says nothing will happen, not a risk I am prepared to take. Can a court put a restriction on him not to drink when he as access to the children? Does this sort of thing exist?
