[QUOTE="Fran, post: 100689, member: 3"] I'm pretty sure the kids know something. They always do. I think the throwing out of clothes andkicking him out is an emotional reaction to fraught nerves and anger. I would make a plan. Wait until you cool off (and you will). Remember that this man is not going to change after a life of drinking. His first love is the bar and having a drunken time. You and the kids are loved and attended to when it fits into his schedule of partying. His staying out all night is the immature behavior of someone in their 20's and not a father close to 50. Expect an apology, go back about your business and decide whether you want this life. If not make a plan. He isn't changing so either figure out how to get him out of your life or put up with it. Sorry to be blunt but we can't cure our kids with all the love and attention we give them. I know we can't cure adults of their drinking and drugging behavior. I'm sorry for your sadness. [/QUOTE]
