			<description><![CDATA[ Does anyone out there have advice for me. My husband is an alcholic and doens't believe he is (of course). Anyway I try to ignore it and go on with my life but some days it is so overwhelming I can hardly stand it. He doesn't seem to care that it is affecting our relationship. Of course he probably doesn't see it like I do. This has been progressing the last four years and now he drinks everyday. The other day my 19 year old daughter was bitten by our pitbull.

This might be a legitimate response, except that I dont consciously make the choice. This is not responding, its reacting, giving up my self-respect out of fear and out of habit.<br>My best alternative is to... ]]></description>
