| At this point I know that I won't go back to him. Too much pain, too much water under the bridge. Too much living in fear. Too much crying, anger and insanity.
I'm afraid that this will push him back to the bottle. I know that's his choice, but I am feeling very guilty that I am hurting him.
At this point you are just letting him verbalize his plan. You don't have to agree to his plan. I recommend you consult with a lawyer to find out your legal rights.
You did not cause his alcoholism
You can not control his alcoholism
You will not cure his alcoholism.
Although he would like you to believe you are driving him to drink, you are not. He is an adult, he chooses to turn to alcohol for comfort.
