While at detox they did get him to go to inpatient treatment for ten days and then said it would be better for him to go to a half way house for up to six months, he is now saying he wants a divorce that it is all my fault.
My question is this, is he really sober, when he goes through detox or is he still not functioning even though he sounds okay? I am okay with a divorce but I don't want to do something that would cause more damage then has been done already, any suggestions would be appreciated. Sherella |
Oh My Sherella, you certainly do have your trials. If I were you I'd look into getting some sort of income for yourself. Do you get SSI since your handicapped? You need to take care of yourself. And guns and alcohol are LETHAL combination. I won't suggest what you should do but if it were me I'd say "MILES" might be a good start.
He has to WANT to stop drinking. And it's not easy to do. And once he does decide he wants to stop it's going to take a long time for his body to get back to any semblance of normal, perhaps a year or longer. Nevermind his Stinkin Thinkin, that's going to take many MANY meetings. I won't even guess at how long that'll take. I wish you all the best and if you need to talk in private I am usually around. I will send you my Yahoo name in a PM.
