Thank you for taking the time to reply to me, we’ve been down the alcohol misuse referral road so many times now, I have had to give up my job due to coronavirus as I was a key worker, I trusted my partner to look after our 3 year old who is shielding, my partner seemed to have stopped drinking and had for a while or so I thought, I now feel so stupid and blind to the fact I didn’t see it, until I came home from work and caught him red handed with a bottle of vodka on the side in the kitchen and my son playing alone in the garden, I do understand how hard this is, but I can’t help feeling that I’m putting my partner and his addiction before the saftey of my very much loved boy, I just don’t feel I can help him anymore but when I try and tell him this he just cries and says he needs us or he might as well be dead if we arnt around, as you kmow it’s emotionally and mentally draining and I’m so low, In loads of debt and literally a single parent with a lodger that eats all the food and doesn’t help with any bills.

I’m so happy your starting to feel a bit better about things, death seems to be a really hard thing for men to cope with, my partner seems to forget that we both lost our son and thinks that it only happened to him, thank you once again for replying and I hope your partner stays on the road to recovery x
