Hi,

Really sorry to hear your story. It’s very much the same as mine. I have a wife that hides and drinks vodka daily. She’s drunk and aggressive from about 5pm every day of the week, so I feel your pain. The need to protect my 2yo son takes priority, even above myself. It’s not easy for the Dad in these situations as it’s usually us that has to have to leave in a separation!

I’m afraid I don’t have much in the way of advice as I came here for support as well, but from what I do know the disease of addiction fundamentally changes the brain chemistry of the addict. The denial, dishonesty and aggression is overwhelming, and is horrible for those that have to live with them. They are essentially different people to those that we used to know.

Hang in there. Your not alone, and when we look back we’ll know we did the right thing. Feel free to vent on this thread 😉

All the best,

A
