Hi shayda, welcome. I am an alcoholic. I think it is helpful to him to not receive when he is being abusive towards you. When he is being considerate of your feelings, that is the time to talk. Let him come to you. Don't take any responsibility for his illness, he needs to. After all, the problem would be there with or without you. My loved ones whose opinion I valued, would not engage with me if i was drinking. However, they would when I was acting right. Don't lock the door, but wait until he knocks sober to open it. That's how I see it. I'm sure you will get more opinions. Take what you want and leave the rest. Hugs.
