These leaches are very common, my now ex, as of 3 weeks ago when he just disappeared one day, has a sister who just feeds off his addiction. Takes him in, plies him with vodka and prescription pain killers , rapes his bank account for her own addictions while he’s comatose for a few weeks and then when he’s no money left she decides he needs help ! Well I’m out this time, no more me to the rescue when all hell has broken loose and the money has gone. This has been going on now for years, 4 years of my life and I’m determined this is the end, I deserve better, I need better and at this point I hate him as do my family. We have to move on when we’re feeling like this, we must put ourselves first. Even though it’s heartbreaking as the sober / clean addict is usually our perfect partner ????

Well he came back, it’s been a week, found an empty bottle of vodka yesterday under the wardrobe, he said it was from last week which as we’ve not had any wobble I think that’s right, he then went to the Shop for a beer today, he has lost all understanding of what an alcoholic is and is saying it’s ok he can just have one and be normal. I know it’s the alcohol which has got control of his brain again but I’m never going to believe a word he says. Is there anymore bottles hid around the house ? Absolute nightmare and won’t be getting any better ????

Think it has to be decision time tomorrow.

I’m so sorry your having to deal with this on your own, it’s lonely when people either know and leave you too it so they don’t have to deal with it or don’t know as your ashamed to tell people like I me. It’s alcohol with my partner, I can feel I’m at a crossroads after he relapsed recently. Do I continue with this way of life waiting for a further relapse ? That’s if he does get sober this time. Is this my life now, thankfully I’m financially independent but emotionally it’s so draining and upsetting, we love them but hate their addiction.
