Hi Holkat,
Sorry for the late reply. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. My partner will never admit he has a problem with drink and I genuinely think he’s unable to cope with the stresses of life.
I ,like you coped by having my own interests, work and the children. However since my youngest left home last year,the pandemic forcing me to work from home and with him being on furlough it has brought it all to the forefront and I’m unable to ignore it any longer.
I have taken the decision to take on an additional part time job which will get me out of the house and will allow me to put money aside to enable me to leave if the situation does not improve.
I hope your partner realises the situation he’s putting you in and seeks the help he needs or you are able to remove yourself from the situation and find the happiness you deserve.
I wish you all the best in whatever you decide to do. Take care.
