Maria4v Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 This is my very first post. I am at my wits end and just looking for some non objective points of view and or advice. My husband and I dated for 4 years before getting married. He than joined the USCG, in order to support me. I am type one diabetic and in need of medical insurance. He has been in the USCG for the past 6 years and loves it. I love that he is in the military, that he loves his job, and that can support his family. It's the perfect life. I will admitt he is away 6 months out of the year every year for the past 6 years, but I am ok with that. Well let me flash forward. In the CG, he is also a sailer, and what do sailers do with there spare time....DRINK! To present time, my husband just got discharged from the military 3 days ago. He has had a binge drinking problem since before I met him. I have told him for YEARS that he needs to get help, but he would not admit he had a problem. I am in total shock. We lost EVERYTHING!!! Our income, health insurance, life insurance, retirement plan, EVERYTHING is gone!! Let me also tell you we just had a baby 6 months ago. This is not the first time he has hurt his family because of his drinking. We went from middle class to bottom of the barrel in one day because of him. People are telling me a I need to be supportive because he is suffering. WTF? I think enough is enough and I am done and want a divorce. I will admitt he is a good man with a good heart, but he can't support his family and he has hurt us enough. Am I being a bitch?
