Divorce Support Forums: Feeling Trapped... & don't know what to do...

I am a stay-at-home mother of two small children. Staying home was my idea & I'm sad to say it has turned out to be one of the stupidest things I've ever done. I absolutely adore my children! However, since I don't bring in any income, I feel trapped in my marriage & don't know what to do. My husband is an alcoholic. I began to notice his heavy drinking about 3 years ago when I was pregnant with our first child. He would come home from work, drunk... I would get angry... he would tell me he was fine... over and over. He has gotten drunk while watching our children & once even threw up all over our 2 month old daughter. He has gotten drunk while "working" in our garage... he then came inside & ordered $52 in Chinese food for two people! One day he started looking at AA meetings, but then decided he didn't have a problem. He recently hit strike 3 when he came home from a Vodka tasting, drunk. I have been angry ever since. Being a single mother is my worst nightmare (although it seems that's what I am, already). After this last incident on April 8, he has started going to AA meetings (sometimes twice/week). At this point, I feel like I've given him all the chances I can give. I need some advice because I don't even really want to be around him... but our house is so small he's hard to avoid when we're both home. Any advice would be appreciated!
