Hugs to you all. cat04, my husband also did a similar MLC 8 years ago, and went through a year+ of hell. He never left home more than 3-4 days, but when he was here, he drank until he was ugly and angry every night.
This time around, he's out of the house and has been x 3 months. As painful as that is, it is better than pretending to be asleep at night so he won't get drunk and go off on me. (Not that pretending to be asleep always worked)
Irishblessings, I read similarities to your story, too. Congrats on coming to a place to set a personal boundary with your mlc'r.
