dwh,

My W has always had a job but she has never made much money. Every little bit helps but I am the main bread winner. She has also always drank and smoke pot from the very beginning. I also smoked pot for years. When we started having kids and as my career was taking off I had to stop smoking due to frequent drug testing. She would not stop. She even had me go get it for her. I don't know how much you know about addiction, but trying to stay clean when you still have to get it for your wife is extremely difficult. I could have continued and I would have lost my job and she would have lost the life style that she now enjoys.

At this point its the drinking that really scares me. Obviously I love this woman or I wouldn't be on this site. It worries me with her family history that she has cause severe damage to her liver.

On top of that Im afraid if I left it would only get worse and my children would not be in a safe place. She is a good mother and a functioning alcoholic but it would only take one bad drunken decision to get in the car with our kids. I just want us to get over this and start to heal years of damage.
