My H has been a functioning alcoholic for 20 years due to work stress. It came to a head last year when he was made redundant and his drinking got much worse. He was desperate for an escape, was contacted by his first girlfriend who’s also in a mess with anorexia and anxiety issues and they’re now moving in together. As you can imagine I’m finding this very hard because I put up with the alcoholic depression for years, now he’s stopped drinking but left me. I’m told he’s just escaping and putting a patch on a wound so I really don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s a tough road. Hope things improve for you too.
