Is there any chance you can reconsider your living arrangements? Can you and your daughter move back into the family home? I DON'T MEAN AS ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY. I think in the long term it would be better for you and your kids to be together in the family home, keeping things as stable as possible for them. It is your wife who needs to address her addiction. I would go back and ask her to pack her things and go live with her parents while she reassess her life and addresses her addiction.

Maybe you don't need to jump immediately into divorce, I mean you've stuck with this woman for this long. If she finally got her priorities in order and you forced her to face her addiction she might come back through this as a person you st love and can respect. I just don't think that you should be the one to be moving out of the family home. You're the one who will be providing the stability for your kids. Don't walk away from them or the home. You'll regret it.

My fiancé cooperated with his ex-wife by leaving the family home to give her the space she needed. He was a fool. His kids are under the impression that he chose to leave the family, that their separation was his idea all because he was too much of a gentleman and didn't want to put his ex in a situation of discomfort or deny his kids their mother. Now his kids only see him part time and it kills him and them.

Please, go back to your family home and ask your wife to seek help for the sake of your kids and marriage. Get your in-laws on board to help. Get her out of your house and be with all of your little ones.

I truly hope you can find some way forward in all of this.
