Lawrence,
I don't have any advice as I have luckily had little to do with alcoholics... my brother was one for a while, but I live 300 miles away so wasn't affceted by it.
I just wanted to tell you you ar ein my thoughts. It must be awful having to live like htis, and your phrase about being scared to get too close to your kids really bought tears to my eyes.
You must be a very special man to want to give your kids a safer and better life. never forget you're a good person.
I hope you find some help. I echo the suggestion of al anon... not everyone there will have stuck with their alcoholic partner and I'm sure you could get some great advice there.
I'm sure there must be a Yahoo group or similar that deals with this and you may be able to get more advice there.
Good luck
Nikki
