Thanks for posts of support The last 2 years I was with xbf I was in recovery and it was so difficult when he was drinking. I knew if I carried on with the relationship and the roller-coaster of emotions that I was eventually going to drink again myself. He kept saying that he would sort his drinking out, then he got defensive about it. Then he denied having a problem at all with drink. His family don't bother with me either as they support him and deny that he has a problem (his father is an alcoholic). I am the 'scapegoat' for them all! If I had stayed with him and drank again, who would look after our son then? I have two older children by previous relationship as well; they are so proud of me for my recovery. I have had a really tough year, but at least Xmas this year will be peaceful. Last year was difficult for me, the years before that destroyed by alcoholism. I pray for courage, faith and direction every day.
