He continues to maintain he isn't really drinking much these days (yeah right). ![]() As most of the alcohol bottles from Thanksgiving had been recycled, I'm almost positive all of this had been from the last month. Well, I found a motherload.about seven 1.75 liters of Vodka, most completely empty, a couple with a bit of alcohol in it hidden in some recycling bins in the back of the garage (also last week while looking for a place to hide my children's Christmas presents, I found an almost full bottle of Vodka hidden in a roll of carpeting in our basement - that one disappeared rather quickly and hasn't been replaced - I never said anything to him about it). The "problem" is that my husband rarely gets falling down drunk, instead he just "falls asleep." I could tell my father was doubting what my gut was telling me, so even though I shouldn't have to, I decided to find some of the alcohol I was positive my husband was hiding to prove my perceptions. My dad said he had been a bit irritating, but didn't think that he was completely drunk. My dad thought he seemed okay, particularly since my husband only had a glass or two of wine in his presence. with two very young children, I don't want to risk their safety as he will most certainly drink when they are under his care) He was furious and stomped off to bed, but not before saying under his breath that "he's done" and this "makes his decision even easier." (he's been threatening to divorce me in fairness I have mentioned to him that it might be a good idea for us to possibly separate the only reason I'm staying right now is that based on my very detailed research, its unlikely that a court would order supervised visitation with no DUI history, etc. I replied in a very calm manner that it was his choice to drink, that I couldn't do anything about it, but that I didn't feel comfortable with him putting away my mother's heirlooms and I had certain boundaries (aside from this one, the only others having to do with caring for our small children when he's drinking). He said he was absolutely fine and I was being completely ridiculous and out of line. My husband ended up blowing up at me and going to bed at 8:30 because I told him I didn't want him to put away my mother's china and crystal (my mom passed away a few months ago and these items are really precious to me), that I would do it. I could tell he had been secretly drinking yesterday late afternoon by the very subtle change in his mannerisms - very heavy eyelids when talking, very long, irritated stares in my direction, etc. Well, last night proved to be a bit too much for him. ![]() During the first half of his visit, my husband has been on his very best behavior. My father has been visiting for the last week. ![]()
