Husband quit drinking but stays angry; wife at breaking point
A woman says her husband stopped drinking years ago but remains argumentative and hostile toward her family, leaving her considering divorce.
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married 12 years, and we were together five years before getting married. He’s an alcoholic who has been sober for several years, but he wants to argue about everything. He has anger issues, possibly because he was in the military. His health is bad, too.
I have reached a breaking point and am thinking about divorce because of the way he treats me, my kids and grandkids — except for my son, whom he is scared of. He also bad mouths my son’s wife. He gets mad because I watch my granddaughter three days a week while her mother works, and sometimes I have both girls.
