I hope you are ok. Sounds like the kind of nightmare most of us are enduring. In answer to your questions – you absolutely will reach a crossroads where you will make a decision and won’t have to think twice or question yourself. And you will make it on your own, sounds like you pretty much so anyway so there won’t be much difference.

Anyway I just wanted to reply so you know we are here and if you need to talk pop back. Big hugs xx

Such a sad story. You need to put yourself first and either kick him out or leave. He is too self absorbed at the moment to consider you and you can’t keep living like that. I know it’s terrifying to think of being alone and looking after yourself but you will be ok. I’ve done it recently myself and I am so much happier, calmer and positive about the future. If you need any advice please ask.

Nine years is a long time and it is hard to give up on the person we love. We just want that loving person back. You are not weak putting up with all this but it is finally getting you down looking after him. He has to want to stop drinking you cannot make him, you are not his mum.

You need to look after yourself. I can understand the tiredness and feeling weak and hopefully this will pass and you will concentrate on yourself and do the things mentioned above in your post to make you feel better.

Keep strong you will not be thought of as an attention seeker on here.
