So I am a proud and functioning alocholic. I love good craft beer and good whiskey. My ex wife knew this when we first got married. One day she gave me the ultimatum, quit drinking or she would leave me. I had a glass of scotch in my hand before the door closed. Any how she had our daughter call me and say she didn't want to see my any more if I kept drinking. I like my daughter and would like to continue seeing her every once in a while, but how do I tell her if I have to quit drinking for that to happen, it's not going to happen? I want to be soft about it as she's only 5. Thanks

I personally believe that you should quit drinking for your daughter if you want to continue to see her and to have her respect, even as she gets older, but if you are not willing to quit, that's a different story. Maybe even make a deal with her that if you drink LESS, then maybe that would make her happier. I'd say that if you don't want to do that either, maybe have her mother tell her if you don't have the heart to tell her yourself. Just keep in mind that she is your daughter, and you must love her unconditionally.
