I left my husband 2 months ago because I had reached the point where I couldn’t cope with the monster he became when he drinks. Some evenings he would be affectionate and others he would be horrible. He won’t accept he has a problem and he won’t get help.

I miss him so much and I want to be with him but I can’t live with him like he is now. We are still talking and some days I think we can overcome it but at the moment we are barely speaking. He gets so angry and defensive when I say he needs help and he pushes me away.

I think the best way we can all cope at the moment is to keep talking to each other. You are all trapped with the people in your lives who are drinking right now so the best we can all do is talk and support each other.
