The husband is an alcoholic. They advise you not to quit. What should I do?translated

Reader question:

Hello. I'm married for the second time. My husband drinks heavily. Married for 4 years. Strength is running out, so are nerves. The psychotherapist prescribed an antidepressant. I understand that I made a terrible mistake: knowing that the person drinks, I married him. It's too late to lament now. I don’t know what way out of this situation to find: get a divorce or continue to live and endure all this. The priest to whom I confess said that the Lord sent me this test, I must bear my cross. I went to Father Ioann Barsukov (people come to him from all over Russia) for advice, he said that it was not Christian to leave your husband in trouble. But no matter how I try to help him, he does not accept my help: he refuses treatment and does not consider himself an alcoholic at all. What should I do?

Archpriest Andrey EFANOV

Hello, Elena!

You turned to both a priest who knew you personally and a well-known and experienced confessor. What can I add after them? Just repeat your own words. You made a mistake typical of many women: you married an alcoholic, probably hoping to fix him. But cases when a man is corrected by marriage can be considered a rare exception, not the rule.
