      My head says don’t stay. I just posted about my situation with my partner who has just gone through rehab and now going straight back to the person- I call “Mr Hyde” from Jekyll and Hyde. He also has previously said the right things at the right times- but ultimately he is eroding me even more than I was. You sound like a “carer”personality like me- giving to people but not receiving. We are worth more than that. These addicts words are not based on truth- because they are not in a rational mind to give us truth. I think we need to looks after ourselves and not expect much from them.

        I hate to admit, but reading your response made me cry.

        Cry as I feel as though I have been extremly vunerable with him. My ex husband asbused me, and raped me during his final “mental episode”. I trusted this man after the hearbreak I have endured. I just found 2 liquor bottles in the bottom of the bathroom cabinet in his trimming bag.

        He went from hiding it in a bed by the bed, to behind the toilet, and now this.

        I can’t use the bathroom without looking behind the toilet. I feel stuck, and not loved anymore. My issue is I always stay for way to long, and endure the worst.

      I’m sorry to hear your previous ex was abusive also. It makes it harder if you have then opened up to your current boyfriend about this and feel vulnerable. You deserve more than this. I too have believed the lies and spent time looking for hidden drink because he said he had stopped but I knew deep down he hadn’t. Alcohol is their top priority so they will always have that in their mind, no matter what they tell us.
