Hi! Life here. Got your post. Good to hear from you. THis whole things stinks and I am sorry you are going through it.
I hope you have a great time with your boys!
We did this too this summer. H had no idea we were gone as he never contacted us. We 9 hours a way for a week and he didn't know. Rather sad. We had a blast!! Even though we did miss him. I kept telling the kids-we are making new memories!
Hate the alcohol. My H is with OW who drinks as much if not more. Why would he want to come home?
He says he doesn't have a problem. I have learned till HE sees it-nothing will change.
Hang in there. Lets talk soon.
