Husband and father of my son is an alcoholic but denies it. Its been years now and all our mental healths are suffering. My son is 14 now and he has anxiety disorder and OCD and on meds. I suffer and battle depression. He doesn’t accept that he is to blame for the damage he is causing this family. I am trapped financially. I wish i could just get away with my son, start afresh in a calmer healthier environment. I feel it has caused irreparable damage to my boy. Years of arguments.

Im frozen in depression today. I cant get out of bed. Ive lost my will to fight anymore
