Divorce your wife, love your daughter, stop your damn drinking. you think that becoming an alcoholic is better than her living a happy life with 2 sober parents, even if it's in seperate homes?

Dump her. Or fix her. You may be able to turn her around..

Staying together and unhappy for your child will only make it harder on her. She'll feel like it's her fault. (As an only child, I can attest to that.) But more than that-- I grew up with a father who was an alcoholic. If you really love your daughter, find a way to live your life without drinking heavily. I'm twenty-two now and have been a mess for about the last ten years of my life. I'm not saying it's all my father's fault, but I do know it played a part-- a big one. Think about it. And I hope you manage to find some kind of peace.

My parents had to get married and my father was miserable and drank heavily. It f*** up my life and my sibbling, because that is the example we have of what marriage should be like and never saw signs of affection. It was a misable childhood. I never had a happy home life and I envy people who did.We always said when we were little "i wish they would divorce". You are not only hurting yourself, but also your daughter. I don't believe in staying with someone for the children.

Make some life changes, forget the bottle go do activities with your child. I stayed with my husband too long and now I have found happiness. My child and I have our lives back. It is not always easy.

Please get sober...You and wife I'm sure are sucking the life out of your daughter. Leave eachother if that's the only happiness you can find and love your daughter to death.

If you are not happy - get out of the relationship. Your daughter will still be your daughter.

beg her to go to at least 6 al anon meetings

YEAH!!! An alcoholic father is much better than a divorced one, GREAT plan!!!
Remove this stupid comment

You sound like my former best friend and her husband. But, both of you may still be hurting your daughter by living as such. Sometimes a breakup is better for the kids.
Remove this stupid comment

Drinking is systematic - if you feel like I do you know there would be nothing better than getting away from the hag. You love the kids and feel obligated...but is it good for them to see the horrible example of marriage? Even if your drinking is private - there are other escapes you cling to, even working out. The end result is the same. You don't love your wife and you resent her because you blame her for your misery. You can't leave - you are trapped. The divorce would cost you a fortune. Ugh. What to do?? B

And I don't drink so this is a sober based misery...sad thing is I fake happiness and because of that I feel like I've lost a part of myself....I suggested counseling....I have offered to do more on top of what I do....I have done everything I can....no...I'm not perfect but can you understand how it is to know the let down is around the corner no matter how much you lend support with positive reinforcement???!!!!!!!!!!!!

For example....I'm typing this while she is fast asleep and I'm up with a 14 month old and this is nightly....she tried for 5 minutes to put her to sleep before passing her off to me....but this New Year's Eve she made sure she got her drink on...me...I remained sober....if not for me...I would fear for my daughters care.....I....am....burning.....out

Your wife is an awfull whore. Toss her in the gutter where she belongs. Stupid butch
Remove this stupid comment

She probably feels the same about you
Remove this stupid comment

It's not just her. Instead of fixing your problems your adding to it. Okay she may not be "perfect" or "fun" but seeing u drunk everyday can add to her emotions and crankiness... Maybe if u man up and get rid of your drinking.. Then she may change also. I feel sorry for your daughter. Not only does she s*uck but apparently you do too.

Lived this life for many years, it got to the point where there wasn't enough booze to make it go away. I gave up everything just to get away from her and get my sanity back. My head is clear, I live every day happy and I still drink, but it's for fun now.

I can promise you this...your child(ren) would MUCH rather have a sober, divorced parent than a drunk, miserably married parent. Don't drink to fix this. Man up, grow a pair, and face the inevitable. Divorce is looming. Do the deed and move on. Your child will be hurt either way, but you HAVE to decide which will cause the least amount of trauma to her.
Remove this stupid comment

Your first bad choice was the women you married.Lets face it,she will destroy you.Your seccond bad choice is your drinking.Don't forget your seccond wind. Get your life together and find yourself, the way you were. Some women can suck the life right out of you.

Remove this stupid comment

I felt trapped in a relationship with a man I didn't love and drank to a black-out every night just to be there. I finally got sober and got out. The result was that two years later I met the best guy in the world and we have four awesome kids. Don't let anybody suck away all your joy. We all deserve better.
