Okay here goes my personal opinion again...I think you should stay apart for the time being. Go to couples therapy and if he won't go....go alone. After a couple has been together for awhile...it seems there comes some bumps in the road, in mine, it was a mountain!!! Discuss with him to get counceling for his drinking, if he is not willing, then he obviously cares more for the drink than his family. Anyway, you still need to go and get the help anyway. There are a lot of free services out there, also, if finances are a problem. I would definitely get to the root of the problem before the ties are severed.
