Dear Kym,

Very sorry for you as I know what it’s like living with an alcoholic, as I did with my late husband.

You have done the right thing, you have moved out and you have to think of yourself. Although he has never hurt you, he has still smashed things in your home and this drinking to excess is going to only get progressively worse. I suspect that you’re not telling the full horror of the situation and it’s no way to live. If you are worried about him looking after himself, he is not a child, he’s an adult and you cannot be a carer. Take care of yourself, before he destroys you.

I’m sure that you love him as I loved my late husband, but nothing is going to change……….It sounds like you don’t have children together, so that’s a relief. Leave him to his sorry ways, I’m sure that your Daughter will be relieved that you’ve had the strength to see it for what it is and leave him.

I’m routing for you, that’s for you….your innocent life, not his. Don’t go back! xxx

Kym

You have made a brave step moving out.  In the early days this might shock him into changing his ways but be warned it may only be brief to win you back . Don’t let any guilt or shame factor creep in …you sound strong….you can love the old him and let him go….they are no longer there

 

Hoping to find my own strength soon to leave and start living again.

Hope you are ok , couple of days now since your post and I know how much can happen in just 48 hours…  Be prepared for a roller coaster of emotions and turmoil  but re-read what you have written here  , or in any journal …. Hopefully it keeps you staying strong…also have your mind set on a goal for you – what do you want to achieve in the next few weeks, 6 months , 1 year…stay focused on these goals and don’t look back xx

Well done!

My brother has RUINED our family and I wish I could move us all away from him and his scummy behaviour.

Stay strong, you’ve done the right thing.
