    Hi there….nice to hear from you again….well, it’s difficult to say….had another long chat and have planned a virtual appointment with a local councillor….in the meantime we’re taking it a day at a time….wife has taken to exercising and not drinking….so far so good, but as you know I’ve been here more times than I care to remember!….but today we’re good!

    How are more importantly?….such a difficult time for you and your family…I hope you’re getting lots of support from family members.

    As of yet, even after 10yrs of deterioration sadly not. My wife just will not accept she has a serious problem….

    …..I haven’t suggested‘ marriage counselling however, have always assumed the drinking must be addressed first….but yes, I give it a go!

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Thanks again for your time….it’s really appreciated….with your sad experience with this living Hell, is there anything you could suggest trying? Or maybe an organisation i could reach out for….I know it’s clutching at straws but I’m not sure what else to do….

    Hi jtekg4…..so sorry for your loss….truly awful….I feel heartbroken for you and your family.

    My wife is sadly a functioning alcoholic. I’ve tried for years to get her to go to rehab but she won’t go.

    Getting to the stage where I’ve become the ‘target’ now. Everything I do or say makes her angry and therefore into a binge cycle….I feel your pain and fear I will end up in your position.

    However, neither should you or are you responsible for someone else’s addiction….so guilt isn’t a factor….do what you’re so clearly winning at….continue to be a mother….you’ll get through it.
