    I wish they could see the heartach and pain they are causing. They are missing out on so much due to addiction.

    Although it’s a different addiction in my situation (my fiance is a functioning alcoholic) it sounds like we are in a very similar situation.

    Wish I had some words of wisdom. ????

    I started documenting his drinking when he got drunk whilst I was in the hospital with our poorly newborn. He upset my mum and me.

    I think you are correct, as things are progressively getting worse and with Christmas around the corner, I am not feeling optimistic. He can embarrasses me at times.

    I really do try not to nag, and give him space, but he point blank ignore any attempt I try to make to talk about his drinking, how he’s feeling or how I’m feeling.

    It’s just so hard as I see snippets of the man I fell in love with.

    But I know you are right. My priority is our children.

    Thank you for the advice. I’ll take a look at the help for families section.

    I’m sorry to hear about your experience. I grew up without a dad and I really feel for my children, as if I’m honest I’ll be scared for him to have them, if I’m not around. ( I feel awful saying that)

    Leaving is not something I will be able to do quickly. Staying with family/friends isn’t an option either.

    I do feel.a little trapped if I’m honest
