My Husband relapsed tonight
This is kinda long, pls bear with me...
My husband is an alcoholic. When our daughter was 5 days old I gave him the ultimatum of our family or alcohol. At that point he chose to go to inpatient rehab. He was gone for the first 2 1/2 weeks of our daughters life. He would've stayed longer but insurance stopped covering it. This stay cost us $7K. He's been home for almost a month now, and has done really well. I am/was very proud of what he had accomplished. He is a carpenter and therefore spends a lot of time in the garage working... this is also where he would do his drinking before going to rehab. Tonight I went out to tell him that dinner was ready and he was up on the ladder in the rafters of the garage "organizing". I saw the beer in his hand! He actually hid a 12 pack of beer up in the rafters of the garage!! Well needless to say, I was so mad I was seeing red! I took the 12 pack and threw it over our back fence(he doesn't know I did that). Then when I was downstairs nursing our now 6 week old daughter he came down, sat in his recliner and proceeded to throw up all over himself, the recliner and the floor!! He started crying and asking me "what's wrong with me". All I could do was tell him he has a disease and that he gave in to it. I made him clean up he puke and then told him how bad he smelled and to get in the shower. I love him so much, but have already been through 1 divorce due to alcohol... I don't want to go through this again, I don't want my eldest daughter (from my 1st marriage) to go through this again but I refuse to let my baby girl be affected the same way my older daughter was... I really just needed to vent. But pls any comments welcome.
