I told my husband that I can no longer live with him due to his alcoholism and the effect is having on our children of aged nine and seven.
The seven-year-old doesn’t understand what’s going on but the nine-year-old doesn’t has a full understanding of what his dad‘s been up to.
The Trust is completely gone and I don’t think we will get it back
We have had social services involvement three times and I worry if we separate that he will be able to have the children as a 50-50 share but I do not feel this is keeping our children safe
