Navigating a Partner's Drinking: Seeking Support and Solutions


Question
About ten years ago I quit Drinking. My wife still does. I quit because I didn't want my 4 kids to see that drinking was necessary to have a good time.I don't like when my wife gets drunk. I don't know if I have a control problem or what it is. She does not do it as often as she once did but it still bothers me. Should I just accept it that she won't change and live with it or try to do something about it. Like I said she does not want to quit.

Answer
Mike,

 I don't think you have a control problem. You are concerned about your wife and rightfully so. If she is getting drunk and has children that she is responsible for, this is a big no no. She should NEVER be drunk. It's irresponsible.  Just recently in the news there was a mother who had been drinking and killed kids in her car plus herself.

 So I say that you need to make a MAJOR deal out of this. She has an addiction problem and she needs help. You are her husband and you need to help her out of this. Your children's lives may be at stake here...
