Staying for kids is a mistake. Leaving your kids to grow in a non functioning family where parents are not happy can be really harmful. Ask for custody for the kids.

You need to start documenting and clearly evidencing her alcoholism now. Along with her money managing issues. Yes, I'm afraid that you will have to divorce her to protect your children and aim for full custody. Your choices are simple. A safe, constructive environment for your kids or subjecting them to your wifes instability and probably deterioration. She's not going to admit she has a problem until she actually realises she has one. That could be another 5, 10, 15 years or maybe never. Protect your kids. Loosing them might be the slap she needs to get her shit together and you *might* be able to work things out but every single time you leave those kids alone with a pissed adult, you are putting them at risk. Don't be that guy.

unfortunately every alcoholic has to hit some sort of rock bottom. it’s different for everyone. Also they have to seek help for themselves and no one else. I suggest you try Al non. It’s for the family to learn how to deal with their alcoholic family member. good luck.

When men fight for custody bow they get it. The issue is men don't want custody. They never try for custody.
