My partner and I have been together for 11 years all of which he has been doing coke.  As addiction is progressive it has got worse and worse.  He is drunk and high most days and the verbal abuse is off the scale.   He is also a bully and manipulative.

We had another huge row in the street yesterday.  2 people stopped me to check I was OK. He walked out and hasn’t come back.

He is a monster

Hi @hellosmee

I am so sad to hear about your son. My brother was the same at 28 but he was defiant and full of youthful arrogance at that age. Try to show him how much you love him and encourage him to new things and experience more in life to distract him for drinking.

It is extremely hard. The truth is they are self centred because of the addiction.

Show him how much you love him but don’t let him ruin your life. Take care xxxxx

The funeral is tomorrow. I am ok at the moment but am dreading tomorrow.

My other brother has not spoken to me since he died and my mother is in Cape Town in a bubble.

I have managed to get 30 people together so that is a miracle.

I am praying it goes smoothly.

Hope you are OK

Thanks so much Lindyloo.

I am feeling very overwhelmed at the moment. It feels easier to write and talk about it.

I am going to attend Alanon meetings.

Happy Friday x
