Hi All,

Things are going well here, but not perfect. We have a counselor that we both like and he comes highly recommended. Even better is the fact that it this counselor is provided free of charge through my place of employment. That is a real blessing.

My W wants a "good Christmas" as she puts it. She tells me and the C that she is committed to making our marraige work. She also wants to start wearing her wedding ring again on our anniversary (05 DEC).

The only bad news to report is that she is still drinking pretty hard. She stays out all night drunk once or twice a week. I do not like that at all. It is also pretty hard on our children to wake up and mommy not be here at home. I am just not sure how to deal with all that. I don't want to be controlling, yet I don't like her actions. My only hope (at this point) is that she will just get all that out of her system and stop. I am not sure I can put up with a lifetime of being married to a bar fly.

Best,
--Chris
