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, who 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.
My daughter-in-law is an awesome person who does anything for anyone. She’s in the Army Reserves and works full time. She put herself through school and is a social worker as well as a full-time mom! My son is a truck driver, so he’s gone all week. I try to help them out as much as I possibly can. I’m not giving up on my kids and grandkids. Am I wrong for putting them first? What can I do? — DOING MY PART IN OKLAHOMA
