This takes an extremely strong person. Happiness is waiting for you on the other side. In the mean time, enjoy your books & instill that passion in the child🩷

You owe no one a reason for staying or leaving…..just saying.

Bless your heart🥰

a stable adult presence and alcoholic - pick one

That’s extremely selfless of you, but you should probably remove yourself from that responsibility and call child protection services

Is it your son as well? And even if he is,children grow up and leave the nest. You rather let the child grow up in this nasty environment? You simply like what you like 👍.

Don’t need to postpone anything. You can find happiness and contentment whether a loved one is drinking or not and one does not have to accept unacceptable behavior. Discover choices. www.al-anon.org

Alcoholics are not a stable adult presence. They're volatile

That's not your responsibility. Save yourself.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. So you're gonna let your kid grow up with an alcoholic, bravo! Stable? Hah! Hopefully the kid involved grows up to do better.
