about the alcohol. I'm not sure if he really has a problem, yet. He obviously is stressed and is using it to deal. If the kids complain, he's not going to quit. what adult man wants to obey his compaining kids? I would drop any complaining and try to come up with a creative action the kids can do if he does it again. either leave the room, or write a funny sign, or maybe they should ask their dad for a drink! lol jus kidn. and then when he comes back have them try it.
I would say suggest trying to eliminate any stress at home and try to make the house a fun place to be...with or without H. Act as if...fake it till you make it. speaking of the house...is it tidy or messy? that will make a big difference too.
