If anyone's out there and can give me advice on this I'd really appreciate it.

I feel that I have to lay down (at the very least) a boundary. And while I've been reading up on it, I'm certainly no expert.

When the wife wakes up, I imagine she'll again thank me for picking our son up last night. I'm considering this as a reply:

"You're welcome. It's obvious to me that you have little interest in working on or maintaining our marriage. And while that disappoints me, I respect your decision. You are free to do what you want with your time. However, you still have a responsibility to be a good parent to our son, and having him sit at places for 6 or 8 hours while you drink is irresponsible and unacceptable. If that continues, I will file for full custody, as I feel that will be in his best interest"

Good, bad, too much, too little??
