Hello, my husband has lived with depression of varying levels most of his adult life. He attempted to take his life last summer but I caught him in time. He now feels he needs to drink and get stoned every night. He hides this from our children, well the youngest but the eldest at 18 is more savvy. Any suggestion by myself to cut down/have a night off etc is met with accusations of being controlling and to leave him alone. He takes antidepressants and is pleasant enough during the day. He must be spending at least £30 a week on alcohol alone which we just don’t have spare. I’m hoping this is a temporary blanket for him but am aware he is creating an ongoing problem. I’ve threatened to kick him out and he says he will go if I want but that he wouldn’t last long alone. Obviously I retracted my threat. I love him but feel this is I longer a marriage. Sorry for waffling. If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful.
