My daughter has told me that she won’t come back home again if things don’t change. I feel she is cross with me for not doing something before. I worry so much about the impact this has had on her – not just his drinking but my not doing anything.
Roundy so sorry to hear your OH is drinking every day. My OH has been sober for a couple of days now but there is a new pattern developing …. a few days sober, a period of time doing low level drinking (usually whilst attending an AA meeting….) that I can just about pick up on but most other people wouldn’t and then bam, full on drunk for 2-3 days. And with all of this is the emotional baggage that goes with is – the guilt, the remorse the getting angry with me. And so it goes on… and on.
Holkat I found that the friends and family I did speak to (not all would be understanding) have been wonderful and knew already that something was wrong. But they don’t always understand. Like you I hope we can all keep talking and supporting each other.
Keep looking after yourselves and take care xx
