Hi, I am fed up with having to deal with my husbands constant – all day – drinking. We have 2 disabled young adults and caring for them is 24/7 and I have done it all ever since they were born. This I can cope with as it is not their fault. However it is like having 3 children, with his ‘needs’ being the far greater. He is in very poor health, his liver has almost packed up and his diabetis is unmanageable due to his constant drinking. He has had to retire and is at home drinking all day – whilst watching me do all the work. He has been banned from all the pubs in the area so has nowhere else to go. He just sits there watching the tv from 6am until midnight. He has been warned by his liver specialist that he has less than 12 months life expectancy and yet he carries on. I realise that he has an addiction but I am now thinking that it is more about the lifestyle that he can chosen for himself. The only time he moves all day is to walk to the local shop to buy alcohol. The stress is enormous!!

I’m so sorry for your situation
I don’t have any advice as I’m in a similar situation with my husband most weekends
I don’t have the worry of children any more though
I really hope you get respite for the kids and can get a break from him too
