I've been with my bf for 6 years and we have a family together.  He has been an alcoholic since he was 14, 21 years.  When we first met we had fun.  Going out for dinner and drinks, etc.  I never paid attention to his drinking at that time because it wasn't causing trouble for our relationship.  There have been so much in our relationship that has caused a terrible strain and alcohol seems to always be around when we have a problem.  I am not an alcoholic but enjoy wine every now andcagain, but I have given up drinking because of his problem.  In fact I have given up A LOT because Of his problem.  I'm so tired, this relationship has exhausted me.  But I am not in the position to leave right now because I need to make sure I am financially ready, for my kids, to be able to support us and provide a sufficient home.  In the mean time I am struggling with the pure anger I feel towards him.  I do love him, but I can no longer live with all the junk that comes into a relationship when one partner has a drinking problem.  Is this anger normal and how is everyone dealing.
