My wife wants it to be over which kills me but I still got my kids and will always. Pushing forward is my motivation. I won’t let this bring me down. God is good

Dude. Please remember to share your feelings about this. Going through what you are will bring up intense feelings. We alcoholics and addicts don't like feeling feelings. I recommend Alanon. We have difficulty with relationships. Alanon can give us the ability to know what we're responsible for and allow us to let other people make their own mistakes without dragging us down into their own problems. Keep going to meetings and share your anger and all other feelings. If you keep suffering either emotional pain or from your own actions get counseling. Counseling about ourselves helps us to know who we really are and gives us actual healthy tools we can pick up and use on complex issues in our lives. Counseling can help us know when our feelings are normal, are healthy and are unhealthy and won't help. You've got a good chance to grow here. Yes it will suck at times. But change brings good things too, not just pain.

Please don't get discouraged. Don't isolate. There are no words for the feelings families and alcoholics themselves go through when this happens. I'm the widow of an alcoholic who I left and then became one myself. Please please don't give up. Anger covers hurt and love sometimes, but if it is just the way it's supposed to be think about your life with your kids down the road. I am sending all the strength and love I can to you please don't stop pushing forward 
. You can do this.

I’ll keep you in my prayers Ron, I got divorced 8 years ago after 15 years together and 3 kids (I have full physical custody). Was rough at first but today we are the best of friends and co-parenting beautifully. Stay sober one day at a time and all will be well despite the pain.
