I have been with my partner for nearly 8 years. For the last 4 he’s been addicted to cocaine and is dependent on alchoal. I’m at my wits end he disappears in the middle of the night and has drained our savings. He’s about to loose his job and we have had our window as smashed. I thought we had turned a corner recently as he went to the doctors about his depression and was put on anti depressants and went 5 weeks clean. But now he’s got back on it and on weed I just don’t know what to do anymore. If I chuck him out he will be homeless and I don’t think I can live with the guilt but I can’t take my h more of the lying stealing its affecting my own mental health . Sorry about the long post
